I'm not confident at working with scraps yet, so that will be a project that will have to wait a bit. I really like the way yours looks and will be excited to see how it progresses as you take the class. Curves are a bit scary! :) Thanks so much for linking up to MCM!Beth @ Cooking Up Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08786023962755107152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-8875433412048499852015-01-16T13:45:00.834-05:002015-01-16T13:45:00.834-05:00I think your colour wheel is looking great.

Maybe the darker blue needs to go on the outside next to the purple and perhaps the burgandy could be on the otherside of the purple transitioning into the pinks with transition to the red?Joanna @ Riddle and {Whimsy}https://www.blogger.com/profile/07850057317926321586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-71413775043894583202015-01-13T17:07:07.314-05:002015-01-13T17:07:07.314-05:00You remember that I have two unfinished quilts tha...You remember that I have two unfinished quilts that were supposed to be Christmas presents, right?

Even more so, in light of the fact that you haven't gone out and bought fabric for this! lalaluu has a good point about the dark blue not being a smooth transition. I have found though that sometimes a little discordance adds more excitement to a piece.Lara B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15135992633781076268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-38380812645321297132015-01-13T15:00:24.838-05:002015-01-13T15:00:24.838-05:00I'm impressed that you are this far ahead! Wow...I'm impressed that you are this far ahead! Wow! As for the colors, I think they look great! As you said, the pictures sometimes distort color (I find that to be particularly true with plums and purples). But if the pink transition is too drastic, perhaps you could make your pink wedge more of a scrappy pinkish, burgundy, plum family rather than an all out pink wedge. Either way, I think it looks great, and I'm thoroughly impressed!lelandavestudioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04017504205573956069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-59106552635100872832015-01-13T14:28:29.977-05:002015-01-13T14:28:29.977-05:00Thank you, thank you.

I'd happily avoid the pink altogether (I'm not a pink kind of girl); I might be able to finagle something else in between the cranberry and mauve. That might be as good as it gets for me for blues. Hmmm ... let me have a think and I'll post more pics in day or two!Michelle @ From Bolt to Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859748817323229803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-31117972247545534162015-01-13T14:23:36.737-05:002015-01-13T14:23:36.737-05:00I think your color transitions are mostly very goo...I think your color transitions are mostly very good, with two that may need massaging: the blue to purple, maybe lose the dark blue or switch the dark and medium blue; and the pink to burgandy jump seems pretty far and may need another color in between. HOWEVER, that's my opinion, and you certainly can just roll with it and sew it up as-is when you get into the class. It will look just FINE, as you obvously have a good eye for color. I look forward to seeing and reading about your progress on this very colorful project! lalaluuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580283923549389072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-9508620509752150032015-01-13T13:04:50.738-05:002015-01-13T13:04:50.738-05:00Very nice rainbow, I think that your 16 shades wor...Very nice rainbow, I think that your 16 shades work well together and make a very nice gradual transition.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15612686505076697159noreply@blogger.com
