Scrappy Purple Stars
I was excited at the choice of purple for February's Rainbow Scrap Challenge color. I have plenty of purple in my stash. Then I started pulling fabrics for "Dancing Stars", the blocks I am making in each month's color. I am using solid black for the backgrounds, with a bright and a light of the color of the month for the stars. The pattern is from a quilt-along at Amy's Creative Side.
The problem I had with my fabrics was that my darker purples tend to blend in with the black background. I have been trying to pull out the ones that show up better against black. Many of my light purple fabrics are 30's repros.

I guess dark purple does look a lot like black. The shades you found stand out great though. 4 more fun blocks to add to the collection. Looking good.
ReplyDeletePretty Dancing Stars, I find my dark purples to be very dark, even hard to photograph.
ReplyDeleteThese purples look perfect!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your dancing stars Julie!!! They just sparkle! I had the same problem with my purples last year on my Rainbow Pineapples. The really gorgeous darker purples blended into the black and disappeared. You've chosen well for these :*)
ReplyDeleteLOVE your pretty dancing purple stars
ReplyDeletePerfect purple choices to stand out against the black. Those stars are just so fun to see.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful block! Your purples stars look gorgeous!
