I think that's at the heart of this challenge: we were forced to get to know our color. We all discovered unexpected things about our color...it was a fun project to do. The big surprise is what happens when the quilts are side by side: wow! It's stunning. We randomly picked our color card out of a big bag and we could NOT switch with anyone else.

I think the "modern quilt" movement influenced the fabric makers, because a lot of these prints used yellow and white. I've been very tempted to make another yellow quilt. Along those lines..I still have my collection of "yellow stuff" that I ended up scanning and making prints out of (instead of sewing it directly to the quilt). After making one postcard (4" by 6") with a tiny portion of yellow stuff, I swore I'd never make anything larger, but time passes and who knows? It could seem like a good idea one of these days.
