This particular train ride is so neat. Love when the project requires a large print focus fabric and then pulling some colors from that. One of my favorite ways to plan a quilt. Love everyone's choices.

Are you going to stay in Florida? We are at opposite corners of the continent. I do like it here in the Pacific Northwest.

I have a coordinating fabric that has a line in it but will save it for another project if directional for B and C isn't recommended, thanks!

Built this house in 1993...so have LOTS of weeding out to do! Most people downsize at our age 65+, but guess we're not normal cuz the house is about 500 sq. feet larger than this 2400 sq. foot house...but we want what we want! So, we will still be opposite corners, kind of......

Vicki, Betty, pokerdiva, jeannie -- love those fabrics
Suzisew - welcome
Lynnie and dd - those colors sound sooo pretty
NOTE; Take a look at Jeannie's fabrics - she has a largE scale print, but the patterns are close together, not a lot of background, so it will work ok. When a large scale has lots of background, the pattern will get lost unless you are using large blocks, which you will NOT be using with this pattern.
