I like it! When you get farther maybe the brown or blue would do for D and the other one for border. As Judy said, get the first three going and then decide where to go from there. I just recall her saying that D uses just a small amount but makes a dramatic impact on the quilt. Guess that why when you said blue is dramatic it made me think of what she said about D. And I love that chocolate brown in the mix! And keep the red out too, because you might want to use it for a back.

Okay ladies. Here are my selections. Let me know what you think and in what order. I kind of like the second selection the best.

In the second set A,B &D gave glitter. The tan is batik for the background and the aqua border would be batik also. Anyway, here are my pix...

Miss G. I love the final pick and maybe use the red or burgundy (looks like burgundy on my comp) for a binding or border. Karen I love that holly print in the first picture. Both choices are great to me.

Oh goodie, I get to critique again, or should I just say I get to run off my mouth again?! I like the first set all but the white. It would be better with tan or light gold, one of the lighter colors in the print, for C background. The black with Holly would be A , the green would be B, the tan or gold or a batik with both tan/gold would be C for background, and some type of lighter or more peachy red for D. Unless that red you have is just showing wrong in the picture. Anyway, that is my first choice of sets. If the red is a closer match than it shows here, then it could be either B or D and the green could take the other place. I love that black with Holly! I just can't stop looking at it. Is it still out there for sale? Any info on the selvage? I'm drooling over that one!

The second set is really pretty, too. Judy says A shows the largest amount so maybe the Santas would be A? I don't know which I'd choose for background. Probably need to ask for Judy's help on this set.

That means my A is the print, B is the blue and C is the tan..correct? I like it!
Yes, I think this will be a good choice for ABC. Don't discard the other yet, you may like them when it comes to what you need later. I like your blue.

Klaws -- Karen - I love that black holly print, it is gorgeous. Yes, it could work for A as Jan said, but will be really pronounced in the runner with the lighter colors, so make sure that is what you want to stand out the most and holler "Merry Christmas"

Me? I might go for the holly for D, and for the border, with sashing to be chosen when you get to that point. But what do I know?
