I am presently in a global swap. Each of the participants was asked to complete a form about themselves and one of the questions was about colors. The first lady, for March, asked for "country colors." She said she liked colors that reminded her of nature. So when I made her block I tried to fulfill that request by using colors that we see in nature. I hadn't really ever given that a thought. After I pick a pattern I start looking at the fabrics I have to use. There are patterns that, to me, cry out to be in blues. There are some fabrics that I have purchased purely because I just loved the colors. When I recently organized my sewing room, for the umpteenth time, I put my fabrics in order of theme. I wish I had done it order of color. Ah well on the next re-organization.
