I would throw out the white on the purple row. Do you see how it SCREAMS in the black & white photo Find a washout lavender and don't be afraid to use the reverse side of a fabric. Does Moda Marble have a washed out lavender?? Maybe a batik?? 9,10,11.12 need to be rearranged. I am worried about #6 in the purple lineup. It might stand out with another color that you might not like. Remember, you are going to be cutting some very narrow strips. But I think you have a good start on your fabrics. I really like the blendability of the fabrics. Here is one of my fabric selection for my Aurora Borealis. I thought that Eileen fabric were OK but I preferred a more smothers color transition. Can't wait for Sunday, going to get her new book at JAF !!!

Thank you, Sue!!! I value your advice and I really appreciate you helping me. Cutting small pieces from fabric next, as I do plan on looking at fabric early tomorrow. Great idea.
Thanks again!

you seem to have a large amount of 'mediums' with very limited lights/darks and the whites...are just 'shocking' and all though 'white' it is very bright- not really light. if I was going to include that one I would have it mixed in with the other mediums- not at the beginning of the light- it's really not light-it has a much brighter value than any other color in your run. (shocking is not always bad- can add the spark you desire) i would either cut a narrow strip from each fabric or overlap them so only 1-2" shows- fabrics tend to look differently as a narrow strip- than a large piece.

Well, I pushed the wrong button there...
I have learned, thank to my son, how to get a picture to show up on my computer in black and white, so I am able to plan easier. (I will buy a black ink cartridge soon, just not on Black Friday. )
Anyway, my next step is to cut small strips and see how it looks on my design wall.
Thanks again for all the help.
