Well I finally got caught up on the reading of all the back pages of this thread, I am undecided about my background fabric now. lol. Black is nice but then I looked at some of the other choices and may change my mind,especially as I am doing the Fiesta BOM and it is in black. Will I get too tired of the look doing 2 tops in it? BUT will have to go buy something else if not,I dont think I have enough yardage in my stash as large as it is for another color. Some of the choices on here sound so yummy...... Well I have time to experiment dont I? lol JO
