Friend Julie has already started selecting fabrics and making blocks<\/a>. I have just started with the most recent postcard she sent (Pantone #350, a VERY dark, almost black, green). I am behind and I have no excuse except I am quilting the Tarts<\/a>, I finished Pies & Points<\/a> and the Diagonal 9 Patch<\/a> and I am working on clearing my to do list.<\/p>\n

I needed a break while I was quilting the Tarts, so I started looking at fabrics.<\/p>\n

When I receive the postcard, I sometimes get an idea of the fabric I want to use. For this VERY dark, almost black, green I thought immediately of the Tula Tiny Dots and Stripes. On a break I got the striped fabric out, confident I would have one selected and compared the postcard with the fabric.<\/p>\n

Bleah! Not dark enough.<\/p>\n

No problem, what about the dots?<\/p>\n

Better. Maybe a good enough option, but still not dark enough.<\/p>\n

This was depressing and I started thinking about the greens I have. If I have a green this dark, it will be buried in a project box or at the bottom of some “old fabric” box, because the last time I may<\/em> have used such a fabric was when I took the Mary Mashuta class on pushed neutrals. I also have a Tula solid that might work.<\/p>\n

I put Pantone #350 aside for awhile. I had to file papers before I could climb up into the depths of my fabric closet to get at the old neutrals, so I took out the Pantone #14-1911, Candy Pink postcard. I knew there was a pink solid around that would be perfect.<\/p>\n

Wrong again. This is a great example of making visual decisions visually. Again, the pink might be good enough, but if you look at Julie’s selections<\/a>, they are perfect matches. Sigh. More climbing up into the closet. I really don’t want to buy fabric for this project if I can avoid it.<\/p>\n

I need to go file papers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
