Yes, I am going to torture you today. I am not really very sorry. It is helping me to remember my trip.<\/p>\n

Milka is a brand of chocolate sold in Austria. Occasionally, I can buy it at World Market, but not regularly. It might be sold elsewhere, but it is not widely available here in the US. When I visit friends in Austria, I indulge.<\/p>\n

Yes, chocolate snobs are sticking their noses up, because this bar is made from milk chocolate. I am also a dark chocolate fan, but this milk chocolate is no Hershey’s. It is so creamy and rich that it calms fretful children and makes grown men weep when they eat it.<\/p>\n

Now that you are frantically rummaging through your desk drawers looking for chocolate crumbs, let’s get to the ColorPlay. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I took the wrapper and ran it through the Palette Builder tool<\/a>. If you still haven’t tried it, get some colorful photos and have some fun.<\/p>\n

I didn’t crop this photo, but when I ran it through the tool, I moved the circles off the background and focused on the wrapper.

Thus, I decided to make a new palette and try to make it lighter.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the Daffodil and Ruby, in the middle photo above, add to the palette in ways that I cannot imagine without sewing. My favorite, however, is the second palette. Yes, there is a lot of purply tones, but it feels lighter and fresher to me. What do you think?<\/p>\n

The whole idea is to give you ideas for palettes for your quilts, so let me know if you create a project with either of these palettes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
