And going through your gallery of fab quilts, I find Lazy Punk and Loopers bright indeed. You just love browns - I see that - have a little bit in almost all of them.Angie in SoCalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689281551068732574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-8576305750796178442014-04-16T20:13:50.425-07:002014-04-16T20:13:50.425-07:00PS - I don't know why you say you love the bro...PS - I don't know why you say you love the browns - they are gorgeous of course and as a fall girl myself - love those colors, but I consider both your Soupçons as bright!

I am trying to add more colors to my closet lately. Looking forward to the QAL.

Lol I always love your muted colours but I always make bright quilts lol. When I buy fabric it's always clear colours. Yet I try to work at times with muted colours and get discourages with them . I so love your hexagon you are making they are simply gorgeous.<br />Hugs BunnyBunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952553076346739583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-43488598098454789712014-04-15T16:37:04.211-07:002014-04-15T16:37:04.211-07:00Very interested to follow along with this one.

I find what i use are of similar tone and am achieving contrast with black and white prints. I need to learn to use pastels more, i rarely buy them because i can't use them.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694207845080624507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-56054466871793375132014-04-15T14:55:46.146-07:002014-04-15T14:55:46.146-07:00Great explanation.

A couple of years back, my friend Silve made a "brights and darks" quilt, which you can see here http://greatgrandmashotchpotch.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/quilts-and-hand-sewing.html<br /><br />It has a gloriously scrappy combination of rich colours, which I love. Combining fabrics is quite an art I always think.

My neighbor friend who is a painter and artist would look at my colors and tell me they don't go together-I would ignore her-and when finished all she could say was-wow those go together lol<br /> I don't use white at all cause I don't like the brightness of it-I like softer neutrals-and I always go with earthy colors too-lol I am looking forward to your new qal as I think it will be perfect for what I had in mind for my civil war jelly roll<br /> off to check out your link for the value finder<br />(Sorry for the long post)kathyinozarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644138355524729156noreply@blogger.com
