I like the one with the dark blue!
It showcases your plate fabrics much better!

What will your plate 'center' be?

Hi Karen, I like the center to match the background but someone mentioned navy blue background and yellow centers, I really like that idea!

Gosh Polly, made me cry :cry: ... her favourite colour was Lavendar ... dunno if that would go? Hadn't thought of that, good idea! Hmmmmm .... Yes, I never saw a moment when she wasn't looking at me that she didn't smile. She might've been cross at someone for something, but not ever me, that's why I loved her so and we were 2 peas-in-a-pod, anyone will tell you that. Talkers to the 9's, witty (she was far more witty that I am, I'm just not shy lol!) and she could cook! Luckily, I inherited her good traits :lol: Anyways ... I'll try the Lavendar and see what happens! WOW! thank you *HUGS*

Her work is so fine, I don't think I'll ever get there. But, they are a treasure.

Aw, how fortunate you are! Please share pics when you're done.

Thank you Judie! I was just in Joplin, next time I'll say hey when I'm up that way!

Okay, OQ, my brain doesn't do that! :lol:

Thank you so much Katie Ann! Like I was telling someone earlier, I am so focused on getting the background and sashing issues resolved that I never thought to ask how the plates look! :lol:

Thank you Miss Galveston, my Texas neighbor!

Crick, you don't think the flowers are too busy and I should go w/a tone-on-tone?
