Do you like it better on black or white? I am leaning toward the black myself.

This is for my Future Niece, who is due July 5th. (I thought this was a little "fireworky".) I am intending it to be a play mat so she will like to grab at all the flowers and the pinwheel. Her mamma is an artist so she will appreciate the color wheel effect of the flowers. (At least I hope so!)

ETA- the tiny purple circle in the center is my 3-yr old. He said the green circle was the mommy circle and then put the purple one on and said, "This one Lukey". I thought it was cute and will leave it and tell my SIL the story.

The black sure makes them pop doesn't it? I love your color wheel. How fun!

tlrnhi 05-24-2009 06:47 AM

Black here.
If you used the white, you'd have to put more color in around it somewhere.

pocoellie 05-24-2009 07:36 AM

Either way is very nice but I prefer the black. Great job!!

azdesertrat 05-24-2009 07:38 AM

Black is my choice pretty flowers baby will love it

Lisa T 05-24-2009 07:57 AM

Looks like black it is! I had thought of getting some black with tiny white pindots on it, but I have the black (thrifted sheet) shown already, so I will stick with the cheap way!

Oh, and thanks very much for the compliments! :0)
It was really fun to pick out the fabrics for this one.

Yep, Black, the flowers get lost on the White! Great idea for your new niece!

I love the black.....and truly, the story is awesome!!!!

As one of my girls told me, "Black won't show the dirt!" White for a baby is just so hard to keep clean. I like the look on the black also.

Black - definitely. I think the pieces get a little lost on the white.

I like the black. The colors really do "pop" on it. Looks gorgeous. Can't wait to see it finished.
