    OK, Here is what I've come up with. The four blacks 10, 11,12,13 are not showing up right on my scanner. They are all different prints that read mainly as black. 6,7,8,9 are medium grays. Had a hard time finding grays in my stash so am using the back side of 7 as my 9 fabric, unless I get to the store. Hope these pictures show up on here and hope Judy approves.

    Jaba - I think I like the one with the purple in it. What are you using for E?

    JustJan - wowser! Those blacks are eye grabbers.

    Tlambing - just gorgeous! I love batiks.

    Sounds like fun! I love scrappy and a table runner is a great size for me right now. Will try to get my daughter - who lives a long way from me - to join me. We did one last year and it was fun doing it long distance
    Thanks!

    Cool

    JABA, I'll take either set of your fabrics! Well. Guess I need to go see what my choices are. Already know there aren't enough neutrals.

    Judy, Fabric E is a very light off white. Not a stark white but way lighter than cream.

    Jaba, just a thought... I like your second choice set, but how about using the purple for A instead of the black? I like it with the pink, coral and tan.

    Help! I think I have some good options, but would like your HONEST opinions. (please, I have thick skin and want to hear what you really think!)
    First, I have lots of black and white prints as I make lots of black and white quilts. So they are my first "go to" thoughts. I tried to pick those with the smallest, least bold print designs in my stash. They are shown in the first and second photos.
    Second, I also have lots of grays, as I use lots of them too (I make mostly modern type quilts), so they are my second 'go to' for the neutrals. (I just don't use browns/tans very often). The grays are in the third photo.
    Then, I have LOTS of brights, and am showing 3 different sets of 4, but they are all pretty similar to me.
    So, what do you guys think?
    Oh, and I will use plain solid white as my "E" fabric as I buy that by the bolt!!
