OK, I've attached the 'block in question' (first picture). It really isn't bright at all, in my opinion. It is 1/4 of the full paper-pieced block. I'm thinking of putting it smack dab in the middle of my kitchen island, and having the new 'kitchen color' to be blue & purple.
She also turned up her nose a bit at my daughter's quilt-in-process. Yeah, now THAT'S bright! ha ha I let her pick the colors herself. She's 10 and tickled with it. I was working on this one last night, and my eyes are going crossed with the layout. The pattern is Eleanor Burn's Lover's Knot. And, get this, her room is painted bright orange! The name of the paint color she picked was Laughing Orange.
Do ya like my home-made design board? It's two hooks over top my set of closet doors in my sewing room. I used a shower curtain rod and made a quick sleeve in some flannel. Works great, and yes, it's a lovely BRIGHT teal.
