What do you all think of this combination? Does it look as pretty as I am thinking for the WW co-op or am I completely sleep deprived?

I'm not part of the co-op, but I thought that perhaps you might want to try this trick to see how they look together????

Go to the page with the first fabric, right click on the fabric and copy it. Then open up a Word document (or any type of program that will allow you to place images side by side; even Outlook Express will do that, I think), and paste it there. Go to your second fabric, and repeat the procedure. The fabrics will wind up next to eachother on the same page, and you can really evaluate how they look together. That's how I planned my Ella bag.

HTH!

That paisley print is my favorite! If I was getting a bag, it would be with this fabric

on the outside alone, and one of these on the inside.

I love the paisley fabric, but I'm not sure the stripe is bright enough to complement it. The stripes look very pastel and the paisley seems much brighter. But it's so hard to tell when you can't see the fabrics in person. I like the fabrics lmariana suggested to complement the paisley...they seem like a closer match.

There is a brighter stripe that I love (I like the paisley too, but I may be scared of the white background).

I'm having a hard time getting the link to copy. The name of the pattern is Varistripe Watermelon by Michael Miller. I saw it at
www.thecottonshop.net

What's interesting is that I can't figure out where I originally found this. (I just cut and pasted swatched I liked but neglected to copy the names/links.) This link is not the one I originally found. It's the same pattern, but the colors are slightly different. I guess that might be because you have to be wary of the way colors show up on the computer.

HTH

I'm curious, and haven't made up my mind yet as to what I'm going to get, so please let me know what you decide. :-)
