  19. I love this! Makes my life so much easier! Still thinking on the Nordika dress. I guess I have a little time, my pattern is here, so I should make a muslin.

  20. Thank you sooooo much for this, Jeni! I am making a Tallahassee quilt with Nordika and I was thinking I needed to add in a few solids - this list is perfect! Now to decide on a background fabric... Thanks!

  23. Have you found anything that coordinates with the red in Tulip Vines Red? It doesn't exist in Art Gallery Land, and I haven't been able to find anything else that matches quite right either! :)
