Boy, what an eager bunch of quilters here! I think that perhaps lighter tan, beige, ecru. even pale yellow instead of the stark white for the fall background would be nice. We use such rich colors for the fall that I am thinking of the background ..... well..... really being in the background and the focus is the flowers. Now, for those of you who are REALLY energetic, since the current plates are not due till June 30, if you want, you may also send your fall plates in as well, but you will have to send another stamp unless you want to wait till Aug to get both sets.
