applique

Trying to choose the right background for this McKenna Ryan applique. The greenish yellow, blue and cream or gray blue. I really don't care for the blue and cream, but the other two both seem OK.Which would you use?

Making pepper placemats with a little "help".

I can't help you w/your question but your dog is cute and I have a question for you. Where did you get that magnifying glass on your sewing machine? I need one of those. And, the placemats are very pretty.

I like the fifth picture. The birds stand out against the pond water background. Your helper has such a cute face.

I definately like 1 and 5 too! It gives life to the whole applique. The other colours seem lifeless and dull. Beautiful work!

5 is my favorite. 1 is my second choice.

#3, it looks like a blue grey day.

I like 1 and 5 because they complement to applique rather than back away from it. The others seem stark and do not blend with the beautiful applique. Please show us your final choice after you finish this beautiful wall hanging. And, to those who asked you about the magnifying glass for your machine: I purchased one from my BERNINA dealer. I think it would be suitable for other machines.

I vote #5. It has the movement and color of water with light on it. Your puppy is so cute. Is it a wire fox terrier? I had a welsh terrier and currently a wire fox. They are a truckload of personality and a little bit of _iss and vinegar! Lol!

I like 3 and 4. 5 is okay, but it doesn't really look like water or sky to me. 1 is too bright for my taste; I feel like it draws attention away from the beautiful applique.

Your assistant is adorable!
