Mauve
So I was looking through my stash to see what needs to be put away for another era and found that I somehow accumulated a bunch of mauvey pink. I figured I should just purge it but then I googled it. Wonder of wonders, mauve is trying to make an emergence into the fashion world at least....and combined with....lemon. yellow.
Oh please, no.
That combination will never make it into any of my quilts. Or am I uttering famous last words? Last year I hated modern quilts. This year, I like them soooo....who know, maybe mauve and bright yellow will grow on me.
Then I figured that maybe if I get started on my dusty mauve and blue quilt this weekend, the color scheme will be in style again by the time I finish it! Yes, I'm a slow quilter.
So is mauve really coming back? Or alternate question, does mauve have a place in the quilting world in this era ? I saw that Bonnie Hunter made an effort to use it, pretty unsuccessfully, IMHO.
What could I possibly do with a big chunk of mauve? Other than one stripe of a sunset, maybe, LOL.
