Joanne, love the dark reds. Just made photos of my stash & your gifts would go well with mine. For some reason I've found red again, red shoes, etc. My Mom bought me red clothes out the Gazoo in 60's from Spiegels & for years I wouldn't wear red, after I left home. Funny how we have favorite colors & then they change. You'll have so much fun deciding what to make. Pet your fabric while you're deciding on patterns and know that this is the way Angels give back to you for all the beautiful quilts you've given away.
