And even if the color choices aren't your preferences now, it is quite pleasing. I'm curious about your rule to avoid mixing prints and solids- what are the special exceptions?

I know that you would just put them all into the same quilt and they would look fabulous, but I've gotten more cautious with prints (or maybe it's just that I've gotten out of practice, after years of working in solids). Or maybe I've gotten too cautious, and need to change my ways.kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-53794671868751502442013-12-31T17:13:45.837-05:002013-12-31T17:13:45.837-05:00Kathy- Do you still have any of that crazy 60s and...Kathy- Do you still have any of that crazy 60s and 70s fabric.
