    Default Warm Wishes help, please :)

    I need some help. I have a great focus, larger print fabric that will make the 6" square. But then I have 6 coordinating prints that I can use. Solid, floral and some low key prints. I know there are no "rules" but can I use all six, mixed up, to make the strip pieces or am I better off using just three? I would like to use all of them but don't want a scrambled mess. I am not a great fast finisher and want this to be a finish, so I know I have to keep it simple and on track! I have read here that the Warm Wishes is a great quick top. Thanks in advance for some help.

    as you can see in the second pic, it is beginning to lose some of the punch of the pattern. i definitely would not try to use all of the fabrics you have.

    Great visuals, Nancy. After I read the OP, I thought it would probably work okay, but after seeing what you posted, I wouldn't use all six either.

    Thank you QuiltnNan. I agree. Not as striking. Was that done in the E7?? Program I see mentioned here often?
    Appreciate the input.
