I wrote about choosing colors a few weeks ago<\/a>. If you recall I am looking to make my own Jelly Roll (Jaye Roll??) to make another sample for the Super Secret Project. Since I wrote about that I took the Bill Kerr class<\/a> and that class helped to inform my additional choices.<\/p>\n

Since I took the class I tried to apply the principles Kerr taught to my attempts at selecting the 40+ fabrics. I have to say that it is difficult to apply the principles we learned at the Fabric Smackdown<\/a>, because I didn’t start with two completely unrelated fabrics. I started with one Philip Jacobs. You saw it in the previous post as well.<\/p>\n

Remember I also had a lime and a couple of orange solids?<\/p>\n

What I did NOT want to do was think of the PJ fabric as a focus fabric and just pick matchy-matchy fabrics to go with it. This fabric was to be the jumping off point, but not the full color spectrum for the quilt.<\/p>\n

I still had the essence of the class on my mind, so I grabbed some additional fabrics….<\/p>\n

I was going to say “that I thought would work”, but that isn’t quite right.<\/p>\n

The fabrics I chose do work together, but I don’t think they would be typically considered “a group.”<\/p>\n

Keep in mind, not all of these fabrics will definitely stay in the group. They might, but they might not. I think the group is interesting and it makes my eyes move around. The ones that bug me are the dark pinks from the Notting Hill group (upper left, second column). I don’t hate them. My eyes are drawn to them. I don’t think they are quite right.<\/p>\n

I also need some more medium scale prints. Dots? Ta Dots?<\/p>\n

I am moving forward and making progress. I need at least 12 more fabrics, if not 15. I think I am going in the right direction. I am not there yet, so I’ll keep working at it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
