You know how Well Wishes and others have 3 or 5 strips....

in those alternating blocks. I'm wondering if there's a important reason for the odd number of strips. I've done a pattern that uses five for the striped blocks, and Well Wishes used three. So--what about four fabrics for the striped block? Is there something I'm missing in the whole design idea?? Or will four work okay?

I like odd numbers...something I read once about it being more pleasing to the eye... But having said that, ultimately it is what is pleasing to YOUR eyes :D:D:D
You could whip one up on EQ and see how it looks to you :wink: Isn't that program useful :D:D:D

Well--I'd prefer five, but I can't find a 5th fabric that matches the focus fabric well enough for me, and I want to use the four I do have... so that's the issue. I always shoot for 3 or 5, but in this case.... :roll:
That's kind of what I was thinking...
