I am still learning, and I don't know what I like yet, but what you wrote about pink struck me, except I think that my "must include" color is red, which is a total surprise to me. I also need there to be a surprise in the quilt somehow, something that tickles me. I just finished doing something like what you did with pinterest, but the old fashioned way; I was given a bunch of old quilt magazines, and I've gone through cutting out quilts that make my heart leap, and now I'm trying to figure out why. :) Thanks again for the blocks -- I made 4 Ohio Star because I liked it so much! sarah@forrussia.orgSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17483384474529466482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2332266690911339345.post-76460594599013901822015-01-30T06:55:32.319+11:002015-01-30T06:55:32.319+11:00I love how different colours and combinations have...I love how different colours and combinations have their own appeal or make the soul tingle. I find I crave different combinations according to seasons and what's going on in my life.<br />Love the EPP quilt sitting on the bench, it looks like AMH voiles which would make it very soft and buttery. Did you have any trouble doing EPP with voile?Karen @ Pieces of Contentmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00719349569606790410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2332266690911339345.post-16636924305546380482015-01-30T05:55:09.452+11:002015-01-30T05:55:09.452+11:00Love your post....

Hearing others process is insightful...<br />I've been told, I pick a range on the low, medium, dark scale, and stay close to it in a given project, and the range is usually low/medium values. I'd like to experiment with the balance of all over the scale in a project....coastal grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885561436537612896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2332266690911339345.post-43650002838724956192015-01-30T05:51:57.812+11:002015-01-30T05:51:57.812+11:00I think I am still learning, however I know I love...I think I am still learning, however I know I love AMH - somehow all her fabrics work together. I love colourful scrappy, that sort of clashy bohemian feel. I love these with linen and low volume Probably most of my quilts don't reflect that though. I guess I am still a work in progress.

(But wow I really, really do!)<br /><br />I absolutely get what you mean about colors that make you feel something, though. I know my "happy" colors and I tend to gravitate around those most. As a wee beginning quilter, though, I stress about colors a lot. I know what I want my quilt tops to look like - mostly, ha ha - but then I just get overthinky and worried actually picking fabrics and I fall all to pieces!

I love happy colours but to know how I like them together, I just have to try. I have learnt to follow my instinct; if some colour or fabric doesn't look good from the beginning, it won't change later. I make mistakes and then think, why I didn't TRUST myself and tried to use some colour or print even it didn't feel right. Thank you for inspiration! x TejeTeje Karjalainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16737386960364740858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2332266690911339345.post-23206491479157310422015-01-30T00:41:19.286+11:002015-01-30T00:41:19.286+11:00I love scrappy and saturated - and the way those c...I love scrappy and saturated - and the way those colors play so nicely with low volume makes my heart sing. For Christmas I gifted my grandmother a scrappy log cabin quilt (she always makes everyone else the quilts, so I thought someone should make her one!) and the color combo takes my breath away still. I think the low volumes (which I too rebelled against) can really make colors sparkle :)wobblybobbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04298146561299492474noreply@blogger.com
