I had that set on my Amazon wishlist, but it was out of stock when Christmas came.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

@Acorn I like both your blues. They seem to make the colours of the fabrics more vibrant. If I had to choose,I prefer the top one   <3

I like the darkest of the greys - is that the one described as slate grey?

If you opt for grey try to get one with a warm tinge to it - reddish or purpleish rather than a cool green or blue tinge.

just saying how good grey can look .... but then again you might disagree  :rolleyes:

Americans use Grey a lot but I think the fact that most greys in GB look pants is because of the quality of English light .. same as those glorious Blues in the Greek Islands, bring them to the UK and it loses that stunning tone..

I can admire it on an aesthetic level, but I just don't want to live with it. 

To me, grey is like a dementor in colour form (drains happiness, for those who don't know their Harry Potter).

I'm with you on that. Nothing against grey in it's place - as long as it's place isn't near me!!
Can't stand the current trend for grey walls and carpets - meh (apologies for those who love it  :P)

Just had some dark grey (graphite) fabric for the sashing on my Quiltathon. I don't like the fussy BG so I thought  grey block colour would calm it down
Just saying :D

I've got two samples of mid grey-blue (Kona Slate and Kona Dresden) and I'm trying to choose between them.
