I had a hard time finding a picture this week. I am not sure why.

Still, I love cherry trees, so I went with one this time. This was taken a few years ago, but I still like the detail. I am curious as the palettes.

I don’t dislike the default palette this time. I am interested in that there are so many purples.

I moved the circles around to see about getting a more pink palette.

I decided, shockingly, to try and make a palette with neutrals. HA! Lots of grey. It would make a good guy quilt.

Next I focused on the green to see what I could make.
This was actually a good exercise and I am pleased.
