    are you talking about changing the light triangles to the dark? I like the light just fine.

    I think the dark fabric would be stunning!

    Good photos QuiltnNan, I personally like the stars w/o a background and then use the dark blue for your setting and zinger/small border and a medium/purple for the outer border. Or do the purple for the setting and zinger. But the light blue will pop awesomely.

    Can someone explain to me the difference between the OBW and Bethany Reynolds stack and whack? The pics posted by QuiltnNan look like stack and whack to me.
