    This is a future group by Benartex, not due out until July or so.

    What do you think of these? With quite a few colors in this group, is there one that particularly appeals to you?

    Do you think the stripes add to the group? Or would it stand alone without them.

    Did I mention this group is by Nancy Halvorsen? When you look at these wavy plaids... well, you would probably have guessed who the designer was!

    spatter-type blenders, and a leafy vine:

    oops - forgot this one!

    The stripes don't really seem to be "part" of the same line. I hate stripes, personally, but it seems to be A-OK without them.

    I was thinking that the stripes seem too flat, and don't have the depth and shading of the rest of the line.

    Were I thinking of stripes for binding a quilt, well, in this case I would just get the wavy stripe and cut it on the bias for an interesting effect.

    Love the very first one you posted and the blenders at the end of that group. Hate the stripes.
