    I neglected to mention that I was so taken by each motif in the OBW that I decided to separate them with solid blue triangles so each motif would stand out..

    I think if you bought a couple of variations of fabrics in the same line with same colorways, but a little different scale it could be a nice muted stack n whack (more subtle). I would audition the prints at a store where possible.
    I made my own one of these, but cutting some mirrored plexiglas and jointing them together with duct tape. Works great...you can do it with 2 mirrors too. This works great to see what the results will be with out buying a bunch.

    that blue quilt (sorry did not note your name & the board is molassas tonight) is AMAZING! lots of punch. I love the fabric choice. Agree about setting off the blocks so they stand out.

    Holice, very nice av!
