Well there was some eyeball rolling at my initial batch of solids plus that wild circle pink when I took them to Tuesday group but my hostess provided me with a couple more pinks and I'm thinking it could actually work. With the yardage requirements showing Neutral about an equal amount as the colors, and the warnings to keep contrast between colors strong, I'd expect the white/pink to be very stark and geometric and able to hold up to that print.

I really have been hoping to use that solids box. I find solids hard to use in scrappy quilts, their calm solidness makes a "hole" in the business of the calicos, but I like the crisp geometric of solids together. I feel that geometry meets with the modern circles pretty well.

Rereading the directions again, I saw this years quilt will be rectangular (yay! my preference) instead of square as it has been for the last two. If I didn't use it in the top and went with prints, I probably would be able to squeak out a back from the pink print, which is why it was bought in the first place. When I'm playing with fabric today I'm going to have to measure the pink...

I'm perfectly happy being Iceblossom, but my birth name was Caroline. I have one of these in my front yard, at the corner of the house just under the bedroom window. it is rare among rhodies that it has a mild scent. Most rhodies have no scent.

And for Woodland Creature, I had one of these Centenials in the front corner of my yard but mistreatment from my husband and neighbor killed it off while it was still rather small... I'm glad to see from the second link set of pictures that it wasn't just mine that was sort of a "weedy" shape bush, but it had such glorious blossoms!
