Here is a picture of the fall leaves fabric I mentioned. I do have fall colored fabric also, lots of it. You won't be hurting my feelings if you decided for me to not use the leaves fabric. I want my blocks to look great with everyone else's blocks.
Oh those look lovely and definitely are fall colors! So I think the question here (and it has been answered) is can we use multi colored prints. And I would think.. fall has so many colors, the pile of leaves on the yard contain a variety, the trees on the hills glistening in the morning dew, some green, or gold or red, such a variety.. the trees themselves go multi colored for the show.. how could we NOT use multicolors!
These fabrics shout "here is autumn!" at me and what better way to epitomize the glories of fall than with the colors and images of the leaves themselves?
What else says fall? Pumpkins (orange!!), squashes (pale greens to deep greens to the butternut squash pale peachie color) Hot cocoa in a mug (with peppermint schnapps, ohh yummo), a crackling fireplace, fresh apples off the tree, red to mottled to golden yellow, the crisp clean air, washed clean by an evening rain, the clear views of the mountains just getting their first snow covered tops with promises of winter skiing fun, for us in Washington state the sights and smells and sounds of the Puyallup State Fair, the fun screams from the rides and scent of fair burgers and the bbq stands fill the entire valley with the aura of delicious edibles.. and mostly, it is the leaves.. green, golden, deep red, the sienna of cinnamon, pale yellow, fresh maroon, brilliant orange, plain ol brown and warm chocolate brown.. and yes indeedy, the sparkling blue skies
Just like in our Spring swap, so many colors speak to the season and to our memories of fall.
And with the many star blocks to choose from, the scrappy effect will be awesome, the cream backgrounds will play so well into the overall many faceted colors of fall, no need to worry if your cream is my cream.. (I don't take cream in my coffee, but I have several different cream fabrics that are dying to get used).
I hope I have time to join again, I love star blocks. Simple to complex, all so geometrically sound and precise , they are pleasing to the eye...
