The thing with using a limited colour palette, ie 3 or 4 colours maximum, is that in these fabrics, the colours tend to be distributed across the pattern, So if you have a fabric that is only purple, green and cream for example you will get blocks that are mostly purple, blocks mostly green and blocks mostly cream, giving you lots of variation and design interest, If you have a very busy multi-coloured fabric, the multicolours tend to show up in every block, giving less variation. I hope that's clear. My favourite fabrics for stack n whack, 4PP, OBW etc are the Asians - long repeats, striking but limited colours and lots of swirls. :-D

As nobody was too sure about a 4PP with Kaffe Fassett fabric I took the opportunity of a sale at hancocks of paducah and ordered the same print in six different shades/colors. I will experiment with that, will see what a OBW out of six different colors but same print will look like.
I was really not fishing for compliments! The beige background of the floral print is a dull, somehow even dirty color. But the fabric was dirt cheap and perfect for trying a 4PP out. Thanks anyway for the compliments :lol:
