We live 1000 miles apart, which makes for not too good communication. Do any of you know of a pattern that could be altered for this purpose? I believe what she liked was made out of a jelly roll. So I need a pattern and the suggestion of a good jelly roll that would go with a fuschia wheelchair. I have to shop on line, so I can't tell about colors very well. I did see Daisy Mae by Benartex, but can't tell if it is hot pink or fuschia. Any help would be appreciated. TIA!
My family lovingly calls me "the Queen of pink" because I am drawn to all shades of it. Having said that, because I work with so much of it, I have learned that you will never match it perfectly, so while others have given you a site for patterns, I thought I would suggest that you use a variety of pinks with maybe purple or aqua for an accent color since she is a girly girl in a fushia "set of wheels". Many blessings to you all.
