Another question re: fabrics...I know these are traditional and done in your basic colors and all blocks again use the same...Would it be bad to use fabric with designs instead of solid and all blocks using diff fabrics...I'm sure it would make it much busier but depending on fabric could be interesting in it's own way...What do you think..stick to basic or be daring?

I say go for it,, I started using batiks which is not traditional. My only suggestion is to pick one fabric,, say the red or green and use it atleast once in each block, this will tie the blocks together, create a flow.

Of course there is an over-achiever in every crowd. I am so jealous. You did a fabulous job, if only I was sure mine would look as good. I am thinking of pastels (totally "UnBaltimorish") Would that be just awful?
