I am still debating about going back and another Fabric C for my McCall's Mystery. The only fabric I could come up with to blend with my Fabric A was a solid bed sheet. And my Fabric B is sort of directional. I will also post pics tomorrow so you can give your opinion.
Yep, I have fallen off the wagon and it is pulling away from me fast.

Well, I did have a 20% off total price coupon and a 40% coupon for the Fuji Afternoon Scene fabric so I did SAVE $72.09. And I did buy some fabric and other goodies for my DD so it was not all for me.

We got to the register and he stood by my side, hadn't a clue as to how much I was spending and watched the total grow. I could feel the hair on the back of his neck going up. Then she took the discounts.. 50% for the end of bolt piece, 40% off all of the Keepsake fabric, and then I had a phone coupon for 20% off of the total price. When I told him that I just saved over $50 dollars, he let out a sigh of relief! LOL Was the best fabric shopping trip I have had in a long time. LOL

My first (won't be the last) question! :) Thanks!
Wow!! Thanks for all the welcoming posts...and I am so glad you also welcome questions along the way because..well.. there will probably be a lot!! Ha!
Here's the first!! .. (Sorry for the pic quality..hopefully you can get the idea!)
Okay! So here's my best attempt picking!! (also may pick a different 2 tone brown/ and who knows find a different selection all together..lol) but anyway here is my question on these fabrics! I put them in order of how I understood the fabric selection directions feeling as the stripe was more of a "light" value?! My concern is that fabric B being so much yardage and being the brown will make the quilt dark but then again the other 3 are light so maybe it will balance? Other thing is I love the tone on tone green but such a large print figured it wouldn't go for C (since asking for small/medium print) so put it as D being the least yardage?! hmmm!?!
So I guess the other fabric selection option is:
A: Multi color stripe
B: Two tone green
C: Some sort of Brown
D: Blue
Thoughts?!
Any insight being more experienced with laying out a quilt and color selections?!
Thanks for your help!
I hope to go today!
