If your fabrics have good contrast, look great when lined up together, and match the values given in the fabric requirements table, then they'll look beautiful when sewn together. Once you learn the techniques for assembling the blocks, you'll be able to adjust the size to fit your needs if you choose later on. (So buy a bit of extra fabric!) You can email a photo of your fabrics to kimberly@kimberlyeinmo.com if you're feeling the least bit unsure. She'll make sure you're on the right track! www.kimberlyeinmo.com
