Experts, your opinions please?
I've done a OBW w/ a fabric that had 16 colors and it worked fine. I think the key is to have the right print. This was a print with macaws, parrots, toucans and other tropical birds sitting in multi-green foliage. The birds are 2 - 3" tall. I made this for my 25 yr. old son, he loves it.
