Strike-offs

Woo-hoo! I have received my first strike offs for a new full width yardage print. It's been a long time since I've had something printed by the metre (not since last Dec). There were a few hassles last time and just printing panels this year seemed the best thing to do. But now I'm forging full steam ahead with some new designs and this is the first. I can't wait to make some skirts and dresses.
I like both these colours (deep red and light pea green on cream) but don't know which to print first. The printer has one roll of fabric and is waiting for the go ahead while I decide. Once I'm happy with production, I will print the other colour. Not such a bad dilemma to have really.

They look great Kristen! Personally, i prefer the green, it just seems more summery and fresh to me :) Although i do like the red as well ;)

My initial reaction is red. But on closer inspection the green is so fresh. Sitting on the fence? :-)

They are both wonderful Kristen, I think I'm swayed towards the green as well, love that it is on cream. Yummy!

Oh, I hope you go for the green first. I could use some green to offset the white landscape and -30F temps I'm currently dealing with.
