I see you are only five pounds away from your goal. Congratulations!!!!  I was thinking about plaids or a different color each month. Unless you have done that already. I only have done two swaps with you all.

Textures? Textured fabric prints. A range of colors in all different "textures". I like the red idea a lot, but I prefer the darker deep reds. I was playing with colors and found that these are fantiastic together: Dark Red in texture, Black, Charcoal in texture, and a multi-tone Tan/Beige Print. I stumbled onto the color scheme while working on a quilt design and scanning in my fabrics from stash.

How about neutral prints, like creams, beige. Those are always good blenders in quilts and projects. Reds are good. How about Christmas prints with the main color in the print being anything other than the traditional green or red (such as blue, yellow, etc). It can still have green and red in it, just with another color as the main. I have seen poinsettas on a dark blue background, gold backgrounds, dark purple stars with holly, etc. Thought that might spark some creativity and fun. Fall prints are always welcome here, too. Just some thoughts. |

Hey Sarah, I like the Christmas idea-some main color other than red/green.
