might just have to embroidery your color on contrasting background color to get the satisfactory effect. I wish y'all luck. I cut real ribbon I found at JoAnn's for a cancer quilt I made for a darling little girl with Leukemia. I didn't realize there were colors until I bought one of the Society's bracelets and it had a card in it saying each colored bead represented different cancers. So, I hope that the little girl enjoyed the one I made. I just cut and twirled that little pink ribbon and put them all over her nine patch - nine block quilt. You know when you do something with a purpose you put more effort in it. Sometimes I think it means more to me than to the person it is intended for. sigh, there goes that dangling participle again, follows me everywhere.
