Well, it’s been a while Hon,
I had a long post that was ready to go at top of
year (and it’s still sitting there),
but technical difficulties happened. I
still can’t get the sound to come through on the video. So I just went on strike for a second,
lol. I HAD to walk away and REgroup. More about that later in a Monday Madness
post. Today’s post is about something
really fun. Color
Play Friday! Woo-hoo, you know I love this opportunity to
play with color and my imaginary future quilt projects. Okay it may be waaayyyy in the future, but I
will have it all documented right on my Color Play Friday page! Color Play Friday began when Lorinda over at
Laurel, Poppy and Pine and Trina over at In An Otter Life were talking and they ended up with this wonderful idea. You can
learn more about the guidelines we follow here and you can see my previous Color Play Friday posts on this page here. They
extended the offer to play to others and well, here we are. This week there are a couple of reviews for
you to go check out, since a couple more ladies have jumped on board.
This week’s photo is soooo yummy, it belongs to Trina. It is so bright and vivid. Not only did staring at it make me hungry,
but it sent me on this wild story in my mind.
I instantly saw colors with my favorite types of fabric, whimsical!
So this is yet another wacky color palette from the mind of another ‘Mad Hatter’. Some of these I might not have chosen in real
life, for fear of it being too much, but for Color Play Friday, I break the
rules baby!
Once
I had my color palette complete I started thinking of half square
triangles. Ummmmm…. Simple, right? But that’s what came to me as I was staring
at this wildly bright little collection of patterned fabrics. I felt I had to tone it down a bit for the
back side of my imaginary future quilt though. I have never been to Washington, but my
goodness this makes me want to hop on a plan right now for a fun filled weekend
loaded with good food. Wonder what I
came up with, check it out…

So there you have it hon!
I hope you enjoyed seeing deep into the mind of a flower child lost in
fabric space. If you think you might
like to join the fun by all means please contact Lorinda or Trina! If you are interest in joining next week, here's Lorinda's picture, "Hydrangea". You can start working on it today.
