We wanted to do something in red/white/blue because they just received their citizenship this year (are originally from South Africa) and it meant a lot to them. But it seemed better to keep the colors muted and not blaringly patriotic. I was really happy with the way it turned out, since the original pattern called for an entirely different color scheme, and some of the ladies were looking at me, clearly thinking "if you say so" when I suggested the change. I think they just couldn't visualize it as anything but the colors shown.
