Very pretty fabrics!!!

Regarding the political correctness of the term "oriental", the fabric companies must not be worried about being PC because these fabrics are most often labled or named "oriental".

Your right, the black is way too dark. Today I really got to know my seam ripper, all those pieces have to be exact in size to go together right and I have a problem with my 1/4" seams, it was sew, rip and so on. When I turn my machine back on my needle moves and I forget to move it to the right place

Thanks everyone for looking and for your thoughts on the background fabric. I've decided to stick with the light fabric. Now all I have to do is piece it together.

This is beautiful! Is there a pattern or did you make it up?
