platyhiker, your question reflects my feelings about my fabric choices so far. When I started this one, I was pulling whites that were mainly white or soft white backgrounds as opposed to the deeper creamy neutrals. Then when Clue 4 (hourglasses) came out, I could not resist using some leftover triangles from another quilt in teals and somewhat darker neutrals. Now I am worried that the hourglasses are going to look "heavy" so I may wait for the finish to see how it will play out. I really like the teals with the pinks and like IceBlossom, I'm not committed to any particular aqua, so I may go with a different color there to pull it all together.
