Thanks for looking...

I appreciate you trying to help

Judy...my vote is for "B" it dials up the happy, joyfullness......I really like how your "Carpenters Wheel" developed. A solid turquoise or brown would work also.

Jenniky... I know I have worked with that fabric but it must have been at someone elses house or making kits for 'Loving Hands' quilts

Sunliten, let me ask you this....I sort my fabric by color too but what do you do with the fabric you have no idea which color to put it with?

Alright taking a second and third look... my original opinion was from my first gut response. Im wavering now. I can see where the B choice actually will enhance the over all look. My safe choice would of been A.. but the more Im studying it.. I have to agree with the others. Hmmm learning experience.. I like.. thanks for sharing your dilemma. Got a love those Ah Ha moments.

Hope everyone realizes we still have 'work' to do ....... we have to gather in the club car and name our quilts...like sometime near the end of July/August....so lots to discuss between now and then.....so hang onto those boarding passes and come on into Sunday Brunch in the dining car.

LOL...that was my problem also so there are three boxes labeled 'no dominate color' and one has an additional note 'childrens' these boxes are for the fabric that is no longer on a bolt....that is another few days/months/years/lifetime of work.
