Janie, I like both fabrics- no help, right?
But I really do. I think either one would be fine.
Watson, my method is to just do strips and then cut them and make the 4 patches. I do realize that in this mystery we are supposed to mix up the 4 patches so that's what I will do, although there will be some repeats if I do them the way I described. I need to try your way, thanks!
