    Color Question

    I see there is a column indicating the overall color of the fabric. If I do mine in solids, can I use that column as an indication of which color to use? The two things I am concerned with is the one cream that has a blue in the color column used in Month 1 and whether I will get enough variation to make the quilt look good. Thank you.

    Marti O, If I were you I would not use the descriptive word in the monthly printout, I would look at the blocks and the actual
    colors. You will notice that Lynn's colors in month 1 have a light and medium colored fabrics. But there is contrast .You
    need that so the design will show up. If you just look at the words cream and yellow or gold you might pick solids with
    little contrast and then then in my opinion they would not look good. The one next to Lynn's would be an example of
    a block with not enough contrast. HelenW
