No sign ups necessary! just join in on the fun and share what you can when you can! its that hard. phew are you tired yet? I pulled my blues and light blues and pale grays today for my sky colors. the color difference in the blues is enough to show light and darker sky tones. phew again. all off my left over scraps of fqs or less! tada! ok could easily get into a quilt store and buy more but.. thinking will try to use these up first. after all its improve it can be mixed up textures and colors! my friend is as blind as I am lol without readers so we will do well with this gift love the pic of the sky colors shown what a great idea! thinking of going with a sky I posted first off of a tree and sky? little square blocks of color sorta moving up and down? that is my sky. was going to do a row or strips some fatter some skinnier but thinking color blocks with some being 2.5" and some being 1.25 so that it has regular 9 patches and others with four blocks to make one 2.5'" block variety is the spice of life! going with a light sunny sky.. nothing major nothing dark just easy on the eyes enough for those shades we will need but not enough to make you squint with your glasses on! When I lived in the southwest we had sky variations amazingly colorful. real blue dark blue, soft pale blue and they varied so greatly during the day. night skies amazing! loved the monsoon season would go outside sit in a lounge chair on my deck and watch the beautiful night skies. dark blue! purple! hot pink when lightening strikes bright white serious white when lightening was going in amazing spires all over the place. the sky there was like no where I have ever lived. Here we tend for sunny morning skies and afternoon clouds .. today light gray and white skies as its snowing. ok is its skies or is it sky's? lessons here go ahead teach me. grin. I forget daily.
