More torture for you for the sake of color. This is an example of a standard sundae you can order at almost any Austrian cafe. I indulged several times with different sundaes while I was in Austria. I had this one in Steiermark near GroB St. Florian. I didn’t think much about what I was eating while I was there, though I didn’t stuff myself either.<\/p>\n

This one is called Pfirsich Melba, I think, meaning Peach Melba. I’d give a lot for another one in Austria<\/em> just now.<\/p>\n

The first one, the standard made by the tool, has a load of neutrals as the others in previous editions had. I kind of like the coffee colors and the combination, but would probably never make a quilt with these colors. I get depressed using dark purple fabric in the winter. No pink; I’d get depressed and never finish it or toss it or give it to the Charity Girls. If I ever go live in Hawaii I’ll think about trying a neutral quilt.<\/p>\n

I made some changes to the location of the circles to get some color.<\/p>\n

I got some red and a kind of gold Kona calls Yarrow. I wanted to keep some of the neutrals to see how it would look.<\/p>\n

More color. I needed more color. I didn’t have much with which to work.<\/p>\n

The third time I put all the circles on the colored areas. Lots of red, mauve dusty rose, which are really called Cayenne, Sienna and Deep Rose in the Kona world.\u00a0 Yarrow is back as well.<\/p>\n

One thing that this exercise does is it makes me look – really LOOK<\/em> – at the photos. After trying to get more pink or color, I finally saw the blue towards the base of the dish. The blue looks lighter to me than the Palette Builder<\/a> determined.<\/p>\n

Kona Everglade was added to the mix. As usual, the work paid off and this is the best of the lot.<\/p>\n

Have you made something with one of the palettes. Let me see it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
