They definitely pop more than the others. It's a very pretty layout, though - it'll make a nice quilt.

Bummer to start off the new year 10 yards in the hole, but you have lots and lots and lots of time.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05835208971743967582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348317753715681760.post-38347318538064594192012-01-08T10:10:46.495-06:002012-01-08T10:10:46.495-06:00Your additions should work well for this quilt.

You mentioned that yo...It will be a great quilt. <br /><br />You mentioned that you might drop the stars with the lightest background - what if you increased them? They seem to make the quilt pop more in contrast whereas the more tan ones seem to muddy the pattern. <br /><br />But I agree with the problem of scanning fabrics in programs. You may end up making a few extra stars.<br /><br />Good luck, <br />lizSpinningStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17988891339643395864noreply@blogger.com
