September color challenge

One of the things I have done this year is participate in the color challenge at Patchwork Times blog site.   I love Judy and the things she does , check her out http://www.patchworktimes.com/.
 I loved the colors in the September color pallet  but it reminded me of the color pallet for  April.  This is the April pallet and what I made. 

This is the September pallet
I thought it was enough alike that I didn't want to go in the same direction so  I made this.
I never could get a good picture of the true color. The color is more of a cheddar and turquoise.   My 91 year old Aunt gave my the individual blocks when we went to visit her this summer. I played with different settings and came up with this.  The amazing thing is that I had a turquoise and a cheddar fabric that blended so well  for the borders that you wouldn't know it wasn't the same as the blocks.  I love the secondary pattern that was created by the block placement. 

I have loved these color challenges!  I have used colors and fabrics that I wouldn't have used otherwise and every thing I have made has come from my stash.  That is a victory in itself!!
