Loved when you said "I knew it had to be a neutral color and the only 2 neutrals are brown and grey". <br />Light bulb!<br />I am neither a brown nor a grey person, but it looks like I need to include them anyway to help my colors take center stage.

From a distance, the colors in that fabric tend to recede, but when you see them up close, they do indeed pick up other colors in the quilt. If there is nothing else you have taught us, Ms. Wanda, it is the value of a design wall and auditioning fabrics.Pathttp://www.imalldeckedout.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-27499401330391778782010-04-12T12:46:44.277-05:002010-04-12T12:46:44.277-05:00Kaffe fabric is very hard to work with, I think.
