The Pomegranate Fireglow really caught my eye. It would be awesome to see all of them in person though.

As a self confessed blue-fabric-aholic it has to be Electric Blue for me; not only would it make a wonderful backing but I know I could use any off cuts in patchwork quilts! Now thats what I call a Win – Win!!!
