I still have some from previous year.. tough to find the right pattern.
Thanks for taking the time to share these beauties. !
Which do you think are the best paisleys, Lori? Some of them look pretty similar to each other (at least, IMHO they would all work the same way in a quilt) so I don't really think I need to order them all.
We still have a few yards left of the 2011 ornaments (on black, and on crimson) but that's because we re-ordered and re-ordered, and re-ordered this collection. I'm pretty sure even those last few yards will be gone by May, when the 2012 group comes in. I must say, of the ornaments, I like the blue the best, and the one with the ivory background. Those have the most contrast and are least "busy".
I thought the deeper gold paisley would probably work even for year-round projects; though there are some snowflakes in them, they're so stylized that if I didn't know they were from a holiday collection, I would just see them as medallions rather than snowflakes.
