The fabrics I have are an understated yellow pattern, with blue flowers and light green leaves on cream background, and I have cream solid.
I just finished a "Take 5" for my Neice... it went real fast and I love the way it looks...

It works with just two fabrics too.
Either variation sounds wonderful !
