I just got back from the fabric store. They have a 60% coupon going [Mill End Textiles - fairly local and don't do online orders]. I got a full bolt [20yds] of 48" wide muslin for just over $1/yd!!!! On top of that, I used the gift card my DD gave me for Christmas. WooHoo!

I decided to swap the red and cream [muslin]. I think I like the red as the background color much better: [ATTACH=CONFIG]300857[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]300859[/ATTACH]
Score on your fabric! It's funny, I would never have thought to switch the red and cream but you are so right, the red background is much better. I have a hard time thinking outside the box sometimes. It's in my head that the neutral should be the background color. Having your 2 pictures to compare is really interesting.
