my darker side

I am so excited!! I promised myself that once I finished a few of these quilts, I could move on to something new. Well, I haven't exactly kept that promise, and have started a couple of new things along the way......but now that I have finished the Yellow Brick Road quilt I feel completely free to move on!!

I usually am drawn to bright colors. I love yellow and red, and green....and blue...and of course  white!
But I thought that I should try something different. I am going to try using dark colors.....

Not quite sure what I will do yet, but am looking through books and magazines to get some inspiration! ...so I am exploring my dark side :)

  2. I love the print with the red berries with the green,red and circles on dark - the light would work, but I think the other 2 darks would wash it all out to a blah! Look at them thru a red plastic film (RUBY is an actual red viewer) - is shows only the hues and you will see if there is enough tonal. Or use your photo and set to grey scale and see what the tones are.

  3. Don't you just love the potential awaiting new fabric! I love to see it all nice and folded and think of all the possibilities! I guess that's why I have such a stash!
