Would like a isle seat on this train, since this is my first time on this train. Looking forward to the ride. Going to hunker down, and lets hope Irma will soon be over.

Judy I will see what I have for a background I have some white on white or should I find something with a small print? If not I could use "F" it is a yellowish/tan. Thanks for the suggestions will do some more digging.

Just Jan love your fabric choices !

Chaseszzz ooh these are so pretty! Now you make me want to go digging for another combo for a 2nd table runner....

frustrated - I like your fabrics, but wondering if perhaps you'd like to have the background C a bit more unbusy? I know my C is busy, but my A and B are not. Maybe you could use the F for the background?

Just Jan - these will be gorgeous together!!!

I love to see all the fabrics that will be used, and so does everyone else.

Welcome aboard! Are you in Orlando now or where? I'm 25 miles north of Orlando. Sounds like at least four of us here are hunkered down. Jan

Took another pix of my fabrics. The first one was my scanner and the purple was way off. This is from my camera and much more accurate.

You didn't ask me; but I love that tan fabric for your background. I was thinking that when I first saw it. It brings out the tan-ish straw in the pumpkin fabric. But of course I have no idea if it needs to be a small print or not, just love that color with your other fabrics. Makes the pumpkin fabric pop.

Thanks Just Jan it could work . But I found other options. Let's see what people think. So 1st the "F" fabric that Judy suggested to use as much background, or there is the tan with darker tan dashes, or a cream tone on tone? Ok go which one would be the best choice for background ?

I like the one with the dashes, though I think the former F looks good, too.

I like the former "F" and also the one with dashes, if its almond/tan. It shows on my screen as gray. I don't like the very top right, which looks like white. I like how that tan matches the sheaves of wheat, but the dashes fabric is very pretty. I guess my first choice is the former "F."

I like the far left, the dashes are cool, but I wouldn't want to try and mess w/ a directional fabric in a mystery.

Good catch! I hadn't noticed it is directional. Might work later as a border or something.
