Thanks for the advice, I think I'll do the colors as charted. If I
don't like how it looks I can always frog and change. My DW is afraid
the folds that are creased into the fabric from the shop won't come
out after it's stitched. I am going to try to wash and iron it before
putting it on the frame.

The folds will come out after it's stitched. Wash it and iron it dry from the back with a towel between the stitching and the ironing board. It'll be fine.
