I took the coloring chart for the Aunt Daisy quilt and added colored in the blocks, using a different color for each kind of block. As you know, my version, Jazzy Blues, is made with blues. The program I was using does not have a lot of choices for colors, so instead of different shades of blue, I just added different colors that might be the same value. Then I tiled it so I could see what it would look in the quilt. The different colors just exaggerate the effects the fabric will make on the quilt.
In my last post, I was worried that using dark colors for the flying geese and the hourglass blocks, I would create dark vertical and horizontal lines. As you can see in this picture, yes it does do that, but it doesn't take away the circular design, so I will just continue to use a different fabric for each block and hope for the best. The other thing I learned about this I can add yellow if I run out of blue fabric, and maybe even if I don't.
So many possibilities. I colored these pretty quickly as you can tell and didn't check the original pattern so I think some of lights / darks are reversed.

Hi,
Beautiful quilt colors..I like the
yellow and purple...have a great day!
It's fascinating to see the power of colour!
It is going to be gorgeous....
It's always fun to see how changing the tone and color change what stands out in a quilt. Hopefully life will calm down a bit and you can work in more than just your 15 minutes.
Wow. What an interesting pattern that changes with the color combinations. It's going to be a lot of work but very worth it!
