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.

Thanks. I have been debating about mine, too. Here is the first set I posted and now I have another set in mind. I'm thinking of making two runners. For the second set I'm thinking the blue across the bottom would perhaps make a good border. Have no idea about borders for the first set until I see what it looks like! 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.

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.

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?
