Kathy,
I don't know anything about color changes for replies, maybe you can teach us!
I have used Sulky Metallics and Multi's but I have never used Ricky Tims. I will look into trying them, do you buy them at a LQS or online?
A June start date for AOTH would allow enough time to consider all options. I want to use wool on this project, if I can find the colors, but I love love batiks, so I need to shop shop shop to finalize wool as my fabric!
BTW Sylvia's Bridal is after Jane is finished!
