What fun! Do I do my mat for the current color of the smaller bath or the color I will be painting it? The new one, I think. I will post my fabric later.

Here are my fabrics. Not sure which three will end up in the final three.
|
I'd like to try too. Thanks for doing this
|
Would love to join you but will be at Sherwood Forest Faire all weekend. So guess I'll just have to do mine later. Sounds like so much fun!
|
Lynda Rae: Whichever way you go your mat is going to be great. I know you didn't ask, but I think I would go with the white and orange for sure.
|
Thanks, Emma! I have the least of the orange, but do want to use it. I will study the pattern more; I might just be able to put all four in! :)
|
What a great idea. Seems to me that as long as you used the same color for the backgound (green in the sample) you could either go random (completely scrappy) or just select certain blocks from the pattern for the other two colors. Can hardly wait to see what you choose.
