I would be putting in a few more strips of color in each box like that. I could see this as being really pretty.

She showed me awhile back that she likes the "Thinking Outside the Box pattern". Would these fabrics really work with that though? If she likes a more "modern" pattern and these fabrics won't really work with the TOTB...what other design options would you recommend for consideration?

Any ideas are truly welcomed and appreciated. BTW, she's pretty easy to please so if you can think of ANY pattern that would look nice in these fabrics please don't hesitate to let me know.

Thanks so much! Karen
