I absolutely love your color combination! Can't go wrong with purple and turquoise. Ir will be stunning when done!
I, too, have drafted blocks and then colored them with colored pencils or crayons. When I am working on a complex pattern, I've also enlarged and copied the pattern, then colored in the blocks with whatever colors I am planning on using. Helps me keep the colors straight in the pattern.
My mini-quilt is just that....it isn't a block, it is what the whole quilt will look like. It will be queen sized... Each ribbon will have ten shades of the color. Google X Factor Bargello quilt and you will see it in black and red. I really like it in red and black, but I have a red and black Bargello that I designed already. That is why I was relieved that my turquoise and purple colors look good in this pattern. I am in the process of cutting out 180 2 inch x WOF fabric strips!!
