They are always just right. <br /><br />I really like some of the prints in this line although not all. I made a Big Bucket Tote out of a jelly roll.

I do love the floral that you are talking about in the Maple colorway so I just ordered a whole bunch of it on sale from Pink Castle Fabrics to use as a quilt back at some point. Sometimes I don't care much for a collection until I see it used well and you definitely used it well here so this makes it look more appealing.
