To get as many fabrics as you want to use choose colors of different value of the dots shown (or in the print if not dots.) I fell in love with a fabric for my granddaughter, used the dots for my coordinating colors, then ended up not using the original fabric.
Oh, how blonde I feel... I didn't know that's what the dots were! I figured they were random... or something...
We've all been there. When I first started buying fabric, I didn't know what they were until DH gently pointed out that those were the colors in the fabric. This happened b/c I was wondering why some fabrics had more dots than others. :)
