Fabric Selection can Entirely Change a Pattern

007 - Slice It Up Placemats

In preparing for a recent demo, I needed to show the various steps to make these placemats.  The pattern cover showed the placemats in Christmas prints.  To show every step, I also made a set of the above placemats in modern brights.  What a contrast to the original pattern.

So when we are looking at a pattern, think beyond the colors on the pattern cover.  The results can be very striking.  I'm thinking I should change my pattern cover photo!
