Color!

      I am in love with color!   I have been looking for a while for some yardage of a colorful floral to do a Kaleidoscope quilt.  I think these were big some years ago, but I am intrigued by the possibilities.  I thought I had enough of a fabric I purchased a while back, but the repeat was too big, and I didn't have enough.  I  found this yellow cabbage rose print on sale at Craftsy - for $4.40 a yard.  I got two 3-yard cuts (the middle one is still in plastic so it looks muddy) of the big floral and one 3 yard cut of the smaller (interior border?)   I have plenty to work with.  This is a possible retreat project!  I'll keep you posted.
     In the meantime, art classes are underway.  Last semester I found I didn't post or quilt as much while in school.   I may be writing shorter posts, but I am going to aim for a minimum of a post a week.  Yesterday I spent some time making little color swatches for my first Color Theory project.   It is so interesting to see how the paints work and blend together.  FYI, I am going to redo some of the yellows - too streaky! 

     Have a great weekend! 

Take care,
