howdy newbies :)
your not behind me any way :oops: .... have plenty of applique fabrics in my stash from baltimore prints to batiks - I will probably use both and then some cuz I want it scappy. But I can't decide on the background.... which unfortunately you need before you sew :-( :cry:
went to LQS which is going out of business...well, he raised prices on everything before marking it all 30% off so I'm back to shopping online for it since I really hated the CT mirage choices that arrived. I'm with you - afraid it is gonna ravel and dont want to waste all that handwork! If any of you have time to offer an opinion on these choices I found at fabric.com ??
I've been looking at some Jinny Beyer fabrics - would love to find one of hers for the background - especially since she has such exquisite border prints as well!

here are the 3 I saw - each totally different effect! - 1st I think is classy and although busy - it may not matter since it is tonal. The second - straight forward purple-red color with specks. The last would have more of a baltimore feeling to it.... thanks ladies :-D
what do you think of this... Jinny Beyer coordinate
