Good Morning Girls,

I read something interesting in my new Weeks Ringle & Bill Kerr book, the Modern Quilt workshop. They say, "If you are stuck on which colors to choose for a quilt, think of an adjective that you would use to describe the quilt you want to make. Then think about the colors you would use to imply that adjective." Hmmm, I think this is a unique way to approach color & making a quilt! What do you think? For those of you who have color struggle, does their perspective help? I also REALLY like the idea that color is innate & intuitive, but we (Americans) force conformity & squash color out of "grown ups." Relax about color choices. Try & go with your gut! It may be like free motion quilting, have a glass of wine & choose your next color palette...?! ; )

Enjoy your day!
Piecefully, Pam

I think a glass of wine will help you pick your next 'anything'! Thanks for the info....we don't realize that certain colors do invoke particular adjectives.
