When I started building mine I went for florals and it didn't matter if I had anything to go with it. I loved them. Then when I started to make a kit I didn't have any tonals to go with them. So now I concentrate on tonals. I do not like solid, it has to have some motion. Now I'm finding that I don't have enough med to smaller prints. And also when I really like a fabric I usually buy some of the whole line or 4 or 5 pieces of the tonals they usually have to go with it.
