I am using CW fabrics and wanted each block to be pink, brown and cream (not just neutral but cream). I also didn't want to repeat fabrics. This made things challenging when selecting fabrics for each block, not only getting the right contrast but having enough creams as they are hard to come by.
Some of my blocks were wonkier than I could stand. Each time I looked at them I would tell myself that I could live with it, but I just couldn't do it.
So...I went through all of my blocks, saved some and plan to use the others in different projects.
I decided to use Kona snow for most of my "white" areas and will use the creams when I feel like it.
Each block will have pink and brown which may be in the same fabric.
If it's wonky, fix or redo it until I can tolerate it. We are the hardest on ourselves right?
And now, I can tolerate my Jane again. Whew.
So behind, but still moving forward. New for this week:
A3 - Hunter's Moon (redo)
A8 - Florence Nightingale (redo)

Fraew ... I love your new blocks and those colours are so great!
A hug!
