The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for April is "light neutral". I had no problem finding plenty of scraps to fill the bill. I did have problems taking adequate photographs of my neutral blocks. Here are my 16-patch blocks photographed in natural daylight.
I pinned the blocks t my design wall this morning to see how they would look with the hourglass blocks I plan on using with the 16-patch blocks. I love the subtlety of the colors, but it's hard to translate to a photo. Even tweaking the pictures with my photo editing program didn't help.
I also pinned up several of the blocks from previous months - I wanted to see how they all played together. I'm not sure I like how placing the colored hourglass triangles next to the 16-patch blocks creates a lozenge appearance. I sill like the way the white triangles add some "pop" to the blocks, but I may re-think my secondary blocks. Definitely need more colors before making a final decision!
The rain is pouring down in buckets as I write this, but I'm not going to let it stop me from venturing out to the Gulf States Quilting Association Quilt Show! I hope everyone enjoys their Saturday - don't forget to check out all the scrappy inspiration at Soscrappy's Rainbow Challenge link-up today!
