Do you have a design board to work on? They really help a lot when you are making color choices on a pattern like this one.
Thanks for the advice on colors, I think you're right. I'm running out of greens and purples though so it's off to bolster up my stash in those colors again. ;)

I don't have a design board (not really sure what that is?), but that would probably be helpful.

Thanks to all for your encouraging comments. :D
