I decided to restart our group sampler in brighter colors. While I like the reproduction prints I started with, the darkness of the colors was wearing on me. So, I went and got a bright print to pull colors from.
A fellow quilter on the quiltville blog asked how my quilt based on a coneflower from my garden was going: it is going fine, but slow, my kids have been keeping me busy! I had to pull the one yellow out of my palette since I had picked too many colors, but I think the orange captures the flower center well!! I put the photo up as a reminder of what I pulled colors from. I really like the look so far!
I have about 10 of each DD blocks done. While on our road trip, I helped my friend find a border for her DD. But I realized I hadn't really considered mine (after the trip was over of course). I am not sure which way I want to head. Busy or plain? What would you do? I think I am favoring the dark green at this point....
