Sewing Summit - Color Inspiration

image from { design seeds }

 Another class that I really enjoyed attending at the Sewing Summit was given by Jeni who blogs at In Color Order. She gave a great presentation about the basics of color and showed how those ideas are represented by making all sorts of mini quilts and bags. Jeni has such a great eye for pulling together pretty combinations of fabrics and I thought it would be fun to give it a try myself this weekend.
I started with the color story above from Design Seeds and took a look at what I had that would fit into that color scheme. I omitted the gray because I don't have many fabrics that color and decided to not use any fabrics with a dark brown or black in them. I wanted to keep this quilt candy colored, happy and full of bright color.

So, here's the little stack of fabrics that I came up with. I think they're a pretty good match with the inspiration color story.

I'm making them into double hourglass blocks by following the tutorial at Cluck Cluck Sew. It's been a fun small project to work on today after freezing at this mornings soccer games with the kids!
