Annoying, right?

Well, the picture you linked to just looks like it was made from the Bali Pop strips and one other fabric, right?

And it seems you prefer the earthy, warm colors.

I went here http://batiksplus.com/SuperStore/Sup...sortmentID=591 because whether you buy from them or not, they usually have all things Hoffman listed.

And the Bali Pops are on sale right now. That's good!

So scrolling down that page, Sangria looks nice. It's got a bit more blue in it. Spumoni is also nice, a bit lighter than Butterscotch.

Look, they're all gorgeous. You really can't go wrong.

One, though, I wouldn't use in the Tradewinds pattern is the Cappuccino colorway, only because it covers such a huge value range. What would you use for the other fabric? If you go light, it would interfere with the light strips. I like contrast. Clear, defined contrast.

I just looked at the picture on the pattern itself:

Again, it's personal preference, but I'm not crazy about the the light strips next to the light triangle. It messes it up for me. But that's me. It might not for you you or someone else.

Good luck in your choice. Post pics after.
