I would probably have never thought to use that color scheme, but this is very pretty. Because I'm new at this, I'm still working on choosing the right colors. I was so proud of myself when I went to JoAnn's fabric to try to find some fabric for some placemats I'm working on and a lady came up to my cart to tell me that she loved the colors that I had chosen and wondered what I was making. That made me feel so good because I think I am getting it! Good job!
