    BRT,


    Should I use green grass fabric or a green close to it as the background for the mice and rabbit??

    Also, what color should I use on the inner ear on the mice? I do not have any blush fabric.

    Waiting for your reply.

    OrchidQuiltFish(OQF), a green grass color would be a lovely background. (We're using earth tones, so just make sure the color green isn't too neon.) What color are your mice? Would a muslin look nice for an ear color instead of a pink? Can I see your mouse?

    76- I hope you make a quick recovery! I'm glad you have that "mother hen" looking after you. :)

    This is sample block for mice. I do not have the green fabric as yet.

    Please give feedback.

    No. I don't have enough fabric for the ear. It is a piece of scrap from a baby quilt I made last year. Don't know where I got it from either but it sure matches up.

    Do you think the grey is too dark? I do have a grey that is lighter.

    Orchid- how big is the piece that you need for the pink ear? I will scrounge for pink for you and can mail you some. Pm me your address.

    I think the grey is perfect! Great job!

    I updated the pic. The entire piece of branch was not showing.

    BRT - Its a 2 1/2 inch square piece of fabric for the ear. I'll pm u. Thanks.


    sanpat,

    I'll make them all in that shade of grey. Have been on line searching for a not too bright grass fabric for back ground.
