and, then! I scrolled down further on your page to where Miss Pat had made a comment, and her point about those only being 1.5" of fabric showing ... that does change the fabric aspect. the contrast with the gold is very fine ... but, really consider what she was saying about the size of the print versus the size of the finished half of a half square triangle, and all of a sudden, a lot of the glitter disappears. <wave>
I am now going to put my typing fingers away and look forward with anticipation for your decision - - not that I was any help at all ... bummer! <wave>
