I had a suggestion from a kind lady at Quiltvillechat to use cream instead of black for the neutral as it would give the eye a place to rest. (I had already considered that, but the suggestion sent me to my camera) Now I've got four choices, and I haven't even tried "green" instead of blue, which was another thought. I can drive myself crazy. This is an edit to an edit, I originally started out with only one photo.

A few changes have occurred over the past few weeks. One, I started my job with XBox, and quit my job at Xbox. It just wasn't for me. My stomach hurt constantly from the stress, and I'm just not a gamer type, and I felt that I wasn't doing justice to XBox or their customers or myself. I know that jobs are scarce, and I am not sure that I did the wisest thing, but it is done, and my stomach isn't hurting anymore. I do need to think about putting in some work applications though. My daughter's quilt is almost all quilted, but then I
ran out of thread. I had purchased a spool of the King Tut number 929,
and I think that I gave it to my daughter and she thinks I didn't. I
have reordered, so probably in the next few weeks it will turn up at one
of our houses. I have been debating trying to take part in Bonnie
Hunter's new mystery. I had an order all filled out for Hancock's of
Paducah and then thought that I would be better off to see what I have.
I'm not sure that I'm going to participate, but if I do these are
possibly my fabrics. Then again, maybe orange instead of yellow, or
maybe creams instead of black or maybe......... PS I added the orange, just to see.

It's good to hear from you again Candace. I' sorry your job didn't work out, but it's better to leave than cope with stress. I'm sure something else will turn up that suits you much better.
I'm sure you made the right decision. If you're too stressed out, it doesn't do much good to your health. You should enjoy what you're doing.
Oh Candace,I sure have beenout of the loop, sorry to hear of our stress but think you made the right choice too. HOw is hubby? I like your new pics of the rooms. Have a good dy and will catch up more later. Hugs, Marie
Stress = unhappiness.
Hearing from you again makes me smile :0)
As for the pictures of fabrics....the top picture (neutrals with orange)...LOVE the combination of colors. I have a feeling that will be close to my selections for Orca Bay (if I ever find time to get downstairs to my quilting room).
Sorry the job didn't work out but I am happy you are back! Hopefully you will find another job that suits you better. I will be making Bonnie's new mystery and thought I was going to use her colours but now that I am seeing so many other pretty combos I'm not so sure anymore!
Too bad the job didn't work out, maybe it will be a better fit for someone else. Hopefully something just bright for you will show up instead. I like the colors in the first photo best, how about purple for the black? That's what i'm doing, I think it will give the same effect without being too dark.
I've just checked your colors, and I like the substitution to orange. Orange and neutrals, I would say.
Now to wait for next friday !
I am drawn to the black.....isn't it difficult to decide? Too bad about your job, but I'm sure you'll find one that is the perfect fit for you!
I like the one with the light neutrals but you need to remove the light orange piece.
I agree with Chris ... light as the neutral but with the lightest orange piece removed. Colours look fab :)

Sorry to hear that the job didn't work out well. You have to follow your gut when it tells you what to do!
I like all the pictures of fabric choices for the mystery, but I think I like the last one best...blue, purple, yellow and black. Don't have a clue what it would look like, but they look so pretty stacked up there.
I am playing along but only sewing half the blocks/pieces this time. I don't want another huge UFO!
