I looked and looked and could not find a teal that matched or blended with the doggone ribbon color! I've had it a few years and it's probably the 'old' teal. Everything I put with it last night looked muddy (dull) in comparison. I'll look harder this weekend. I really want to use this fabric AND my stash.
Then I decided I would use some left over puppy paw prints by Debbie Mumm and make it into a 'mug rug'. I don't have the right brown to go with that one! (And the background on this is the 'new' teal and there's nothing that matches that either ... grrrrrr!)
At this rate I may just grab some scraps just so I can say I completed the darn block!

My fabric finally arrived this morning and it is so yummy! Blue and purple batiks. I'm hoping to do my stars tonight!

OK now I'm psyched! Teal and Pink --- of course!!! My mom's sister is a breast cancer survivor. I can combine the two awareness ribbons into one quilt!
You Rock Jeanine!!!! Thanks to everyone for the suggestions!

i will have to do a personal debate to decide if i will do this bom. i always love the idea of it, but when it is time to put all those blocks together i seem to get sidetracked. still have a couple of completed bom sets that need to be made into quilts. well, that is my personal problem, i think. you all are probably quilt finishers. love you all quilty pals.
