21 Aug Color Moods
Do you go through periods of time when you are drawn to certain colors and the moods they evoke? Lately, every time I go to choose fabrics I end up with a soft, serene palette. None of my often-used high contrast schemes appeal right now. I seem to crave gentle and peaceful colors.
The fabrics in the picture are from my newest quilt (to be a pattern later this fall). I had originally thought I might use a bright white background (one of my favorites) and some clear blues for the contrasting fabrics. As I got closer to making the actual quilt, I chose a creamier white and these soft aquas.
I wonder if it is a reflection of my busy summer with a graduation, wedding and college departure – or if my brain just wants something a little different than my usual. It doesn’t really matter – as long as I love what I’m working on while I’m doing it, that is what is important.
What is your favorite color mood these days?

Posted at 15:45h, 21 AugustI usually work in clear bright hues but have been playing with a low volume quilt for my newly claimed guest room now that we have an empty nest. I also have been toying with new color combinations. Still clear and fairly bright but not primary. I realized I've done a lot of rainbow type quilts and want newer combinations that are less primary, a little more push within the color wheel.

Posted at 11:51h, 21 AugustThis is exactly how I'm feeling right now. I'm usually drawn to rich, saturated jewel tones or brights and now all I want to do is make a quilt filled with neutrals on a creamy background. I've started pulling fabrics…now, if I can just motor through the six quilts I've got to get done for other people. Love those aquas, by the way!
