What if I....play.
So you know me, I am always thinking about Color and how to challenge my regular choices...
I keep coming back to, " why do i have TWO cubbies of BLUE fabric when I rarely use blue?"
So I thought of a quick challenge, I could try using BLUE, the color I seem to avoid.
(what color do you avoid?)
I chose 4 STRONG colors, Green red royal blue and purple,
and chose a light blue to surround them.
I selected the without thinking to much about them, And I sewed them together any which way.
Then I made sure that I had a light blue color all the way around the four scraps.
Here you can see how I put it together... Every block I make will be different.
I like the idea of the Contrast and the varied shape the scraps made.
Can you select a color you avoid?
And try the same technique? One little 8" block, 15 minutes to play. That's it.
I Would love to see you all give a go... Maybe we will feel better about the color we avoid afterwards!
I think it may make a dent in my BLUE stash too! More room then for my favorite reds and yellows! LOL!
Post and share your play time!
I challenge you to one block.
Maybe it will be like potato chips, can you make just one?

After I made friends with greens, I would say yellow and brown are the colours I use the least. I have been meaning to brush up on my yellows, so this would fit perfectly for me - sometimes next week or so.
Love this idea. Kind of like controlled chaos. Next in line.
I will try something with brown, which is a color I really don't use much at all. This will be fun.
For me I would say the least amount of color that I have is blue. My bins are overflowing with greens! And I keep buying more greens...
Funny...I have a ton of blues and hardly ever use them. Not because I don't like blue, but it never seems to fit. I will make a blue, blue and not sure what color. Thanks for the inspiration.
