It's different prints of aqua, red and white. I think out of LOTS of searching and responses on a different post I had, I've decided I'm going to make a Jacob's Ladder. I've included a picture of one I saw that I hope will look good with what I've got! Any suggestions before I get started??? Wish me luck!!!
A couple of scrappy "rules." First there is no "enough of a certain print" second, eventually it all goes together, third, don't over think it, fourth, while two reds, blues, greens, etc, etc may clash, 20 go together. Okay so that was more than a couple!
