QuiltsRfun -- Good to see you join up and love your fabric selections. I do love/admire the people who pick different colors. I think pastels will be lovely. Not saying it will lose definition but "low volume" can certainly make a big difference in taming down the riot and chaos I was talking about in Irishmom's post and my own quilting style.
For me now, it's time to do some prewashing. With my thoughts today (and my normal thoughts about ironing), I'm thinking of taking some of the larger pieces of (unwashed) fabric out of the mix and delay the prewashing until another project...
