  77. I really like Mayfair Town and Country. It would give "Hearts to You" a total facelift (the fabric they used looks dated circa 1980s? when you don't want to date your fabric....if you were going for a 1930's look, that's a different story). I like to play with bold colors and you could get an entirely different quilt by using Mayfair. If you want to know the names of the print for each piece, let me know. Thanks for letting me "play"! Erin

  95. I'd use Laurel Burch basics---hearts (of course) and throw in some of her basics circles. They read as small prints, keep with the overall heart theme, but still work to replace the country colors with a more playful palette.
