I have, at the same I think about colors in and for quilts, been thinking about what color to paint my bedroom. So far I have been leaning towards some type of periwinkle. Truly I am actually thinking of painting my bedroom the same color TFQ painted her bedroom. Partially, because it is a very restful color and partially because the decision is already made.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, however, all that changed. I am thinking that all the trouble I have had for years identifying my very favorite color is because I haven&#8217;t wanted to acknowledge that my favorite color is blue. I am still not willing to acknowledge the humble blue as my favorite color, but progress on self improvement is always slow.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17593\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17593\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/AnnaMaria2008.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-17593\" alt=\"copyright Anna Maria 2008\" src=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/AnnaMaria2008-300x204.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/AnnaMaria2008-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/AnnaMaria2008.jpg 524w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17593\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">copyright Anna Maria 2008<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When I saw this picture on <a href=\"http:\/\/annamariahorner.blogspot.com\/2008\/11\/oh-yes-booth.html\">Anna Maria Horner&#8217;s blog yesterday<\/a>, it occurred to me that I need to rethink my thoughts on color. I like the whole look that Anna Maria has created here. And part of the issue for me is the whole look. I can just plop that lovely (if a bit dark) blue onto my bedroom walls and call it good. However, there is a look here and I will be disappointed if I don&#8217;t do something about the rest of the parts. I would have to think about what could realistically translate from here into my bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Anna Maria has a bunch of photos of her Houston booth so go take a look. All the photos I saw on her blog are wonderful. Sigh. I have a ways to go in that department.<\/p>\n<p>Any suggestions on dealing with a look, especially on a budget, are welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have, as you know, been thinking about turquoise A LOT lately.
