Evening WIP

I'm a couple days late (I think) getting this 'placemat proof' pieced together.  I was asked if I could make four placemats in blues, with just a hint of lime green.  I jumped at the chance!   

It doesn't look very lime green, does it?!  Nope!  It just hit me...I used chartreuse!  Chartreuse, not lime green.  As I said, this is a 'proof'.

I really love making anything I can rip through with my rotary cutter.  No measuring, no worries!  


Placemat WIP

I like to use a wide variety of fabrics and colors.  This one has some Shot Cottons (I am a shot-cotton-a-holic, I cannot lie) along with 'regular' cotton fabrics.  


Several different shades of blue, teal, aqua-ish.  A good color combination.  I find that I go back to this combination frequently.  It rarely fails me.  Soothing.  Calming.  I like it. 

Do you have a 'go to' color combination?  I'd love to hear what it is!  Comments are always welcome!

  2. Do you cut all the strips ahead or cut each as you need it? I have played with curved strips, but not a whole series of them. I like the look you are getting.

  3. I'm amazed at the curves ~ how cool! I think my current favorite color combination is beachy ~ turquoise, coral, lime. I really need to start on something with those colors!

  5. I'm a sucker for oranges, corals and teals/aqua. I like it BRIGHT! I'm loving your colour combo even if it's a 'proof' and I must try the curves. It looks like a relaxed approach.
