Finally caught up with making blocks 1-5. Alex challenged us to use our least favorite color. Mine is the drab olive green. I added red to the single wedding ring block to help tone down the green. Thank you Alex for teaching us how to read and apply the color wheel.

 I couldn't stand it...I had to cut into my Kaffe fabrics. I have no idea where this will end up but it's fun exploring. |

I’m not comfortable with not have a plan to work toward. So, I decided on a layout and I’m making pieced blocks to hopefully compliment the design. Here is the start.

I used the sizes in the book, and the blocks came out fine.
I have wondered why the traditional holiday greens and reds changed in recent years to a lighter turquoise green and a more orange red. Somebody must have pulled out the color wheel and said, "I think we should consider a different split complementary color way." Now I know why it works.  |

I think I just added a photo of my Sequoia quilt. Hopefully, I'm doing this correctly!

I got the thread that Alex recommends, which I think is super nice. I should have rechecked by seam allowance. Using 80wt in your bobbin makes a difference. I was using 60wt and thought it would be about the same, nope. Just thought I'd share, since I think the blocks are getting harder.
I'm not a huge fan of yellow, but I love purple so.... I think it worked.  |
