    I love the fabrics you've chosen, but my concern is that you really want to emphasize the snowboarders print, and so you will probably want to fussy cut those snowboarders. Have you figured out a size for the center squares that will help get the maximum effect?

    Trust your instincts. I like exactly what you have chosen. The first time I ever saw this pattern was in a magazine and I loved and still do the way the three strips contribute to the focus square. The times I have seen the pattern done with the 3 strips block standing out sharply have not been attractive to me.

    I agree with this. Your fabric choices are good.

    Have been playing with your fabrics and came up with this collage to give you ideas, two using just your fabrics, and 3 more with red and a muted yellow. I think brighter reds or yellows will dominate over the snowboarding fabric.

    Looks small - hope youcan see them

    I prefer either of the top two. The other 3 take my eyes off the snowboard fabric and onto the window design.

    I think you have chosen well, and they should all look good together. I'll bet your grandson will be thrilled with his gift.

    I really like the top left one. It is manly. I think it is the best one.
