I also have found if you "audition" your fabrics that can help. For instance I recently bought a red hat fabric that had a cream back ground with red and purple gloves toss but when I layed it next to a few of the intended blocks. I said whoa that will NOT work. :oops: So it is back to the design board, I had earlier discovered the original purple water drops fabric wasn't going to work either. So I still haven't solved this deliemma and I was so hopeing to finish this before sis's birthday in Nov. :?
