March Color Palette Update

So when I started this months color palette challenge, I thought I was going to hate it.  I'll be honest, I did not want to do it!  (I skipped last month on the same excuse and well this is suppose to be a challenge, right?)

If you aren't familiar with this challenge, you should check it out.  Each month Judy Laquidara from Patchwork Times and Vicky Welsh from Field Trips in Fiber pick a different color palette.  The goal for the month is to make a project using the chosen color scheme.  It's really pushing me out of my comfort zone in a good way.

There were so many colors and not ones that I could say I loved, but I pushed through and finally came up a block design.

I changed out a few of my original fabrics I had chosen and in the end it has really grown on me.  I only finished this block, and for the month that's all I'm going to do.  The original plan was to make another small quilt, but my husband loves it so much that I think it is turning into a full sized quilt.  I can get more of some of the fabrics, but others I know are very old and I will never find.  We decided that this will be a pillow case after the full sized quilt is done, so it doesn't have to match the full sized quilt.  I want to get the rest of the fabric before I finish it in case I have to make some major adjustments, so for this month, the color palette is finished.

I plugged the block into EQ and came up with some ideas for turning this into a full sized quilt.  I'm thinking that the borders on the second one might make this a bit dark, but the tone on tone black I used in the block doesn't read as a pure black, so maybe it will be ok.

I guess it's time to head out fabric shopping!
