WOW............I Love your May block for the BOM project!! :D Your purple color's look so loverly together & very pleasant to the eye. You have done a great job making it & before we know it, June will be here!! Oh Goodie!! Thank you for sharing with all of us.
:D :D :D :D

Klgreene - Love the ladybug on your block :thumbup:

Anastasia - You're doing great for your third block. When I first started to quilt this was the first thread I joined and I have learned so much. It's a forty--five min. drive to my nearest LQS.. so I have depended heavily on this site for encouragement, tutorials and advice on everything from quilting to how to keep the local wild bunnies out of my garden :D . Your in the right place. :thumbup:

Oksewnsew - Love the purples :thumbup:

Sulabug - Are ya still thinking on my reply to what makes a block pop? LOL or did I just make a post too long to read.. LOL Haha :D :D :D I have one of those color wheels and Im going to take it out today and use it to help select scraps for the new mystery train. Have you ever used one of those pieces of film or a viewer. That you lay over the fabric it is either a red film or blue..Im not sure which. Peeps have mentioned them on different threads as being very helpful in fabric selection.. however I have not been able to pin down where to obtain one???

Have a wonderful Memorial Day Everyone :) :) :) :)

Jenniky,
Oh, I read your post & have been thinking about how I want to answer you, as to what I call POP & I finally figured it out!! :D It's the Value of color's in a quilt project, that perform's two function's. It creates a sense of depth and it makes the design in a block. Value, the lightness or the darkness of color does as much to determine the look of the quilt as the colors themselves. So when I looked a the pretty quilt block with the dark purple batiks with the light ones, the dark color popped out to me. The dark colors come forward & the light colors recede. So in my eye the purple color just POP'S!! :D I hope this makes sense as to how I think something POP'S. It is probably just the way that I look at color's. I also have a color wheel & use it alot. I don't have the the piece of film that you can look through, so I have never tried that. When I see something else that really pop's to my eye, I will be sure to let you know!! Do have a great day & thank you for bringing this subject again. I love to read your posts.
:D :D :D :D

Oksewnsew, your block is gorgeous!

Is it June yet? Sulabug where are the hints for the next block?

June is very close & I just now realized that I haven't given you any hints yet!! :D I will tell you that the June person that picked her pattern, has designed the pattern herself & I am sure everyone will love it!! Does that help you out? Stay tuned for more tomorrow!!
