It pains me to say it b/c you got a whole bolt but no I wouldn't use it for anyone who requested specifically WOW.

Does it matter tho, as long as it looks white against the focus fabric? We have all different shades of everything else in our quilts, so why not white?

I bet if she put it next to a white on cream it would look snow white.

Blacks will be different from each other too.... just saying!

No I definately see a difference in it and real WOW..it does look more ivory or beigh than it does white. I personally would prefer a whiter white if it were me . Its no problem...I can always use it for backing or other things! I just ordered 3 yards of real WOW and I hope they send me the right one this time! LOL Thanks so much Kass and Sew.. I agree it will match the other boom fabric but like was said...in a quilt that is ONLY WoW it would stand out. Glad I asked!!

Would they take it back?

joanelizbay

Naw..Ill use it!! It came from Calif and I dont think I want to ship it back there...Ill use it over time!!

I have some similar and it works with many things. Maybe if I have a need we can negotiate a sale of some. I'll remember you have it. I believe it is similar to a neutral I used in my Bonnie Hunter quilt.

Boomers, I have a non-boom delima and I would like your opinions. Would these work for a boy? Bumper pads, crib sheets, and skirt.

Molly, I think the set is adorable. However I live in the south and don't know many men who would agree for their boy. I think that will be very dependent on the parents, especially the father.

My niece thought she was having a girl with the first ultrasound and asked me to make these, then found out at the next ultrasound, nope, it's a boy.....now I'm stuck. I can't afford to start all over and haven't been able to find a boyish fabric to go with the purples.

Molly, how would it look if you removed the ruffle and replaced it with the darker blue in a box pleat for the skirt? Box pleats would look more masculine. If there's enough of the blue for the bumper pads, you might be able to pull it off. I think the crib sheets might work if you make the blue your predominate color with the skirt and bumper pads. Just my thoughts. Make a soft simple stuffed blue animal to go with it.
