    So I'm going with red. I couldn't pick so DH did lol. I'm wondering what to use as the colour for the other side though? I like how on mine the green matches the flower stems, so the edging looks like it belongs. On this fabric, the only colours I could do that with are black & white. White might get too dirty, but I don't think black is really a baby colour is it? I don'y know, I think I might just go with white. Unless anyone reckons another colour might go?

    How cute! I don't think black would be too odd. Maybe a dark red/brown/russet type colour would fit? Or just go for a big contrast like yellow?

    I would go either a strong contrast or a red-toned brown.

    Well the sheep-fleece lady finally got back to me about calculating postage for it, and she doesn't ship to Australia The only ones who do are for wholesale and I don't know what I'd do with a few hundred kgs of fleece!

    So I ended up getting a bright coloured spotty one from spotlight, with an aqua colour for the back. Looks pretty good I reckon So now I reckon I'll get a stuffed lamb to go with it - but places like Target/Kmart/Big W don't sell *just* stuffed toys. They all have to do something, they're all learning toys, never just a teddy. So frustrating!

    But I am getting some fantastic crocheted/knitted lamb gear (beanie, singlet, booties) from one of the very talented BB girls

    Ah I hadn't thought of the chemist, thanks Nae! If they don't have one there's a town nearby here that has handmade toys, including sheep apparently So I reckon I might make a trip there
