Waiting ....

for my Tis the Season book to arrive, I'm thinking about using green colours for my fabric choice, the main reason for that is the wall where I intend to hang my quilt is RED and if I make a red toned quilt it will get a bit lost.  I don't have any photos to put up yet (don't think a photo of some weaveline would be very interesting lol).  I am really looking forward to this SAL, it is the first one I have participated in and I recognise a few bloggers names here already (waves) so I'm sure it will be a great incentive to finish.

Welcome Pip,
You have a point. I haven't chosen my fabrics yet. I was thinking red but I have a red wall too. I guess I should reconsider but if the borders are a different color it should be alright.
