I was cutting out a quilt for which I had chosen a dark gray background some time ago. All of the fabrics other than the gray are pastel. As I looked at it, I thought that a lighter gray would have been so much prettier. Before the moratorium days, I'm sure I would immediately have gone to the computer to find and order a light gray. But since I am now moratorium-trained, I decided to sleep on it, and the next morning decided the dark gray would do. I suppose I'll wonder now how it would have looked with the lighter background, but I know one thing -- it will have good contrast!
