I like the 8434 ( canary) becasue it has a very good balance of color throughout the area... .So no matter how big or small I end up cutting it it will still have the balance. I like the motifs used , much visual interest or a more complicated image . I like to use baiks that have a curved motif as it will keep the eye moving .
The 8434( canary) would be a fabric I would purchase on speculation and for a project... its got all the right stuff.
