About that layout to the left...

Here are ideas for colors. Basically I was thinking of primary colors. And muslin for the background of each square.

Kites (K) -- red kite tops, various primary colors for the tails
Pinwheels (P) -- shades of blue
Stars (S) -- shades of yellow

I thought we might use fabrics from our own stashes, rather than buying any new fabric (the economy you know).

Prints or solids??? I wrestled with this one. I sort of want to use prints because I have so, so many. And if we use solids we might end up with some clashing colors. What do you think?

And for the back of each quilt we could buy one print together (along with lunch at La Madeleine next to G Street) so that from the back the quilts would look the same. The fronts would be different in subtle ways and the twins would have to figure out which belonged to whom (is that right? been away from editing for too long).

So that's a lot of questions for you Ms. S!!

Happy Halloween! Hope Dyson and Justin are a HUGE hit tonight. (If you send me a picture I'd love to post it on the blog...maybe one of those cute ones you used on the postcard.)
