I gue...I agree about the gingham...it is too busy. I guess gingham is just not a quiet fabric no matter how much we want it to be. Maybe try a blue solid. After all, blue and orange are SUPPOSED to play well together. It's in the color wheel rules, remember? Of course, the bricks are a yellow-orange, so you'd almost need a blue-violet to contrast. Ruth may be on to something--audition a fabric in the denim color range, just not denim. <br /><br />And thanks for the mention: that was sweet of you.Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-18834904710439354602015-06-30T15:20:03.686+01:002015-06-30T15:20:03.686+01:00lest anyone mistakenly think creating original wor...lest anyone mistakenly think creating original work is easy for anyone.... decisions decisions. <br />I am working on a beaded rock wall... very small but possibly interesting.

Not a yellow in sight. Would a navy blue work for your little bricks?
