If you use the green, floral and gold set, you could add a bit of red somewhere, too. I love that floral and I don't think from what Judy said that it would be too large. She said her floral wasn't considered large because there is no open space of white and there is none in your floral either.

I am voting for set B, Judy. Here is what I have pulled for mine:[ATTACH=CONFIG]565267[/ATTACH]

What do you think? The light and dark are the same batik in different colors. Middle is a Kaffe Fassett.

The green would possibly be used for sashing/ border.
Personally I don't care for the first set, but that's probably because I don't like pink very much. I like the colors in the second set. What colors are in the print? On my monitor it looks like white, gray and brown. Is there green in it? If so, I'd like the green as one of the main colors. If there is brown in it, you might be able to use green and brown as your complimentary colors for the print.

Chasezzz I like your fabrics.

Blues are in the house...everything else is in the utility room and inaccessible due to plants being in the way (so they don't freeze). So, here goes...I may have to do two posts as the photo part isn't cooperating. Which would you choose, Judy? The second dark has only 35".
[ATTACH=CONFIG]565278[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]565279[/ATTACH]Anyone else is welcome come to chime in, too. Sorry the pictures are so big, it doesn't seem to give me a choice. :-( Pecan pies are in the club car. Enjoy! No calories on this train!

Chasezzz your fabrics are delicious, just beautiful together.

Coopah Love all those fabrics, but if it was me making a top with those fabrics, I would use the top light -- seems to have more interest that the bottom light, or are they the same fabrics? I'd use the lighter of the blues, and either dark, whichever you like the most. I think you are fine with 35" because I always allow a few inches extra, but don't be wasteful when cutting. LOL

Well, even if Judy doesn't choose B... I found some of the same floral print in my modest stash. I had to go out and purchase the green but hey, it was on sale. [ATTACH=CONFIG]565282[/ATTACH]

The camera didn't do a good job with the white print. It has blue-violet, yellow, orange, and olive green. The print is tiny, so none of the colours really dominate.

I don't have any lighter yellow, so maybe I'll go with the green instead.

Thanks for the info. I did a search but could not find it.

Did you mean maybe you will go with orange instead of the yellow? I definitely like the print and the green. Bet a blue violet would be pretty with it too. But I'd definitely keep the green.
