For the Storm at Sea, which has never been started, I decided I needed a SAS and then looked for fabric. Since I love paisley I found a blue with black paisley, then a white on white paisley and searched for a medium blue paisley. Lost cause. Can't find anything I really love. So the dark is going to be black with blue and white (you have to look closely to see it's black), the blue/black will be the medium and the white tonal the white of course.
I LOVE paisley, but to me the paisley also looks like waves swelling and foam swirling. I can't think of any other pattern I'd HUNT that hard for. Well, maybe the Carpenter's Wheel---------I want bricky red, woody golden tan, and then a beige tonal. I've not put a lot of work into finding these pieces yet.
