Rain! glorious rain!

It rained this morning.  Not a terrific amount, but enough to help a little with the wildfires.
The National Guard is here with four helicopters and some dozers and just overnight the picture is
brighter.  The brave tanker plane pilots from Minnesota are still here and we are so grateful for them all.
Radio Eagle Newberry has an update on the fire, too.


On the home front,  I am trying to find something in my fabric stash to use for the Spring Mystery Quilt Challenge on the Quilt Talk yahoo group.




I can't decide whether to use the fabrics as they are in the top pic, or to use them as they are in the bottom pic.  The fabric on the right in the bottom pic is actually the 'wrong' side of the fabric on the right in the top pic.  My monitor makes all the fabrics look kind of washed out.  I like the way the colors look in the top arrangement..IRL, but I wonder if the right-hand fabric is too busy with the 'right' side.   I really should do the pre-cutting soon, since the Mystery challenge is June 2nd.
Any opinions welcomed.
I need to go put my sewing room back together now that I've decided on these fabrics, just not how to use that right hand fabric.
 BTW, for quilt talk folks...the center print is my #1, the left-hand fabric is #3 and the right-hand fabric is #2.  I only have enough of the right hand fabric for it to be #2. 

More later
