Help! What color could be added
My modern quilt guild does something they call a Bee. Each Bee group has six members, and the Bee lasts for 6 months. Each month one of the members is the queen bee. That person can specify 2 blocks that she and everyone else in the group will make during that month. It can be very specific or very general. At the end of the month the queen bee will have 12 blocks to make a quilt from. In my Bee we were doing very large blocks, 18". I had the bright idea to have everyone applique a ring in a fall color on a blue background. I specified some limiting dimensions. I thought it would look cute, and I would add rings of my own after to have them all looping together to make probably a child's twin size quilt. Now that I have them back, they look so drab on my design wall, I can't think of anything I'd like to do with them. I'd love some suggestions. I think there's a problem with the overall colors. What color could be added to enliven it? What else can be added to make it fun looking? Or should I assign it to the pile of things that just never worked?
Thanks!
