I have never used that color scheme either. I usually lean towards a more scrappy look. I was having trouble getting "inspired" to do another row. Nothing sounded good. I found the cheater fabric at the Singer outlet store in our area and finally decided to use it. I ended up really liking these colors and so does my DH. I decided to do it vertical and put my row in the middle in case we ran out of the cheater print. Have fun!!! :)
