(I couldn't stop myself from tracing them, and they're not used at all) I stressed about it too, I did buy some brown batiks but used other fabrics from my stash. I don't have quite the contrast in my colours as the pattern picture, but I'm pleased with it. I've only stitched a small amount on it, but will post a picture when it's finally finished.
Nikki, how fortunate for you that you have a mentor! Sometimes, it is the little things that matter the most. Those tips and tricks are a treasure!
Baby steps. Savor the moment.
Wishing you good luck and the best results possible.
Maybe even a little fun along the way. :P
