But everyone has an opinion on color!!

:-D

I do, but you are far more experienced at putting together those water colors than I. One day I'd like to make one and have bookmarked your pictures so I can learn from them.

The more you move your fabrics the more confused you will get. Set them up and walk away, do something else. You will see what you need to do.

I can't figure out which ones you mean (small orange print)... can you tell me which photo and number them? I want to try!! :-D

I'm done for a bit--need to get horses in and head to dinner with hubby and all the kids for my baby's 21st!

I'll check in tonight. Thanks for all the help!! I know it'll look fine no matter what the final decision in.

Karla,
can you print out color pics of all your configurations and stand back and see which one pops more for your eyes ?

I think the last photo is the best so far.

Definitely leave in the red - it is boring without it. I am not typically a fan of red - but it pops out in the line-up and that's good.

What a gorgeous group of flowere. Sounds like you are getting a lot of great advice.

I agree it is throwing the flow out of sink, too much white

Boring? Gasp! I won't breathe a word of that to the other fabrics! I'd have a revolt! :lol:

I'll make a decision tomorrow--although I know I'll reevaluate before I take a rotary blade to them. :roll:

I sure appreciate the shared insights!! :thumbup:

I think that change was made in the photo on page 2?
