What do you prefer?

After all, you colored fabrics will be all different values I'm sure. I think mixing your creams and off whites will be perfect.

Thank you, everyone, for your kind comments. I used a mix because I have lots of fat quarters and not very much yardage - and I like the challenge of mixing colors.
