She passed away in December.
I kind of regret not having asked her what she had in mind
when she purchased six (yes, SIX) yards of this beauty.
For scale, I've placed my 8" scissors on the fabric.
It reminds me of something that would have been a hit in the Miami Vice era..
just need a few pastel tank tops and white linen jackets.

I have finally decided that it is, truly, ugly.

There may be still be enough for a OBW - but I just can't past the colors...
If I were to put that much effort into it, I'd want to enjoy the fabric!
I'm not a "peachy" color person. :(
