Thanks, Judith. The pattern also used grays with the scrappy so I just followed the same theme....tho, I did use a FQ bundle and blenders from stash, I still liked the gray backgrounds.
I'm sorry your kids had a terrible experience with their new home. The roller coaster ride is the hardest and thought my DH would stroke out. He felt better when we took their deposit. Enough to pay for moving company charges so I think it worked out to our advantage. We are not worried and will just wait it out. I really didn't want to move during the winter so it should work out better for us in the long term.
