Thank you,

susan.. i just pick what inspires me at the time i guess or what i think might sell.
i use my daughter sometimes for an opinion or my dh helps as well.
for your girls.. what is in the house or bedroom color wise.. is it more stripes then florals..or more paisley and plain.. i kind of go from there as well. or you could have them look at fabric with you and not tell them what it is going to be.
i have found the black zebra went fast and the giraffe one i made 6 of them...
