I used up all the red making the cowboy quilt (http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...d-t265870.html) When I went back to my LQS to buy more for the binding, they were out of it. I found it online, but it came in two colors, red and dark red. As you know, online pictures are difficult to tell true color. I thought it was red, but it was a deep red so it could be dark red. The selvage did not help as the numbers were the same. Option 1: order red and hope it's right. If not, order dark red. Option 2: order both. You can always use red. Shipping was the same and if I was wrong, I would pay shipping again. I went with option 2. I now have some lovely dark red fabric in my stash.
