October 2011 :: Fabric Shopping

A sale at the fabric store gave me a chance to try out some of the interesting color concepts described in the book that I recently bought. I noticed that nearly all of the fabric remnants that I have collected over the years are all sort of the same tone - not too dark, not too light, but pretty bright and in the middle of the value and saturation scales...which has led to a lot of similar looking quilts. I am excited to try out these new fabrics--dark pinks and oranges contrasting with very pale greens.
(Simon seems to approve!)
