Windblown -- Lynnie's take is pretty much like mine. I call "light brights" things that are NOT screaming yellow or brilliant orange or shocking turquoise blue, as opposed to soft yellows and light orange and a blue that isn't pastel baby or medium blue. Make sense? I guess color names are really arbitrary. Love your blocks, your controlled scrappy will be great.
Baron -- love your dotty fabric. I am a huge fan of irregular polka dots, as I call them.
