August PP BOM

I was going to start this tonight but no matter how I look at it, it appears
to use 6 fabrics and I have 4 selected for each grouping. Is it me or??

Looks definitely like a 6 color block. I suppose you could do the reds/blues in the same tones. You
would lose the shadow effect -- but the block would still be pretty. BUT..... check out the backs
of your fabrics... could you use the front as 1 fabric and the back as a second... to get the
dark/light contrast the block shows?

Also --you are early in the year -- how difficult would it be to expand your palette and add two
more fabrics... and then work them in to future blocks?

Just a few ideas!

I pulled from my stash for both pallets to start this year. Not sure I have
more. And I definitely can't buy more. I may just have to pass on the
shadow effect.

Thanks for the input.

I went with four, lost the shadow effect, but the block turned out great.

Mary - can you tell me what you need for the other 2 fabrics? If so, I'll
look and send you a care pkg, aka, squishie. Email me if I can help.

Thanks, TerriLee. I'm going to play around with what I have and see what
comes up.

Nope, it uses 6 all right. I bet you have something else you could
use in your stash. A pale blue or lighter shade of purple would blend
in well with the light colored blocks. A different TOT white print
might work for you as well as a solid white or cream.

For the darker blocks I'd search the stash for a dark red/garnet or
burgundy as well as a gold or a gray. Perhaps a dark orange would
work.

You might also think about taking some of the green from the light
colored block stash and use it with the dark blocks.

Thanks, Mary. Cool block. For those who
wonder about the number of fabrics to
use, I suggest using the 'back' or
'wrong' side of the fabric to add some
shading where needed. After all, you
paid for both sides.
