That sounds like a good idea. that way the grays would blend in more? but give added dimension?

All the advice was great. I think I am going to put it away till June. Just found out that my husband will be gone then and i will be able to concentrate better on it, plus I will have a little bit more money to go buy some added fabric to get a better contrast. MY son will not be happy that I am putting it off for another week and1/2. But I have my oldest graduating on the 3rd of June and I know I am going to have to make some kind of design wall and leave it up till done. Since I sew in my kitchen nook and family room I don't have a spare wall but I think I will put something on rods and hang it up in the living room where there is plenty of lights.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I feel my courage building, and building.
