was #27, Willit Neverend, who commented:
Personally, if I were going to use the red and green, I would leave out the aqua, but, personally I’m not really fond of the red and green Christmas colours.
I would make it out of colours that say “Christmas” to me. For me in Australia, that would probably be yellows for the sun and the golden decorations, greens for the Summer grass and the Christmas tree, and whatever other relevant colours I could think of (but I’m not going to think too hard, because I doubt I will be making a Summer quilt )
For you it might be white, if it snows, light blues for frost and ice, yellows for decorations and warm hugs, or whatever else it is that reminds you of Christmas with your family.
Good luck.
I’m happy to add Australia to the list of places I have mailed stuff!
Thanks, one and all, for your Penny Sampler fabric stack advice. I’m going to admit that you’re not all going to get emailed responses to your thoughtful comments this time, but know that I did read each comment and appreciate your taking the time to offer advice.
(And it goes without saying, but I want to see any Christmas quilts you-all make for your families this year.)

Thanks, Laura. This is such a nice surprise. I’ll have to think carefully about what to make with it and I’ll make sure I share pictures of whatever it becomes 🙂

Thanks, Jolana, I do feel lucky. Now I will have to think of how I can pay it forward 🙂

I kept forgetting to comment on your last post!! I wanted to say that I definitely think you should do it Christmassy, I think the motifs lend themselves perfectly to it anyway! I’d love to see it in maybe more richer greens, reds, golds. Whatever you end up doing, I’m sure it will be lovely, I can’t wait to see how your vision takes shape!!

What a great way to get advice. But I wonder… what did you decide?
