    I agree -- perhaps the dark green would be better because the snowman print also has reds in it -- Are you going to embroider a face on the snowman?? I like the whole idea !!!!

    I like the idea of a snowflake print around the snowman to help set it off

    I think that is why I am asking. I think it is too busy. I put the stripe first because I was going to use that as the binder pattern and backing also. But I have plenty of red material. I can swap the stripe and wreath print around and bind in red. I just really dont like it as it is. Thank you guys!

    I agree it's the stripe not enough contrast. You could just remove your borders and switch them so the green is against the snowman.

    I would take out the stripe. It makes it to busy. Solid green?

    I tend to agree with the others. The stripe just isn't strong enough. It would make a gorgeous binding though...on the bias.
