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!!
