I am taking a break from my doodle pad to ask opinions.
A young person of my aquaintance needs a quilt. Since he is a huge Studio Ghibli fan I am doodling Castle in the Air blocks.
brief explanation: Draw a nine patch and divide it up as for a Card Trick block except for the middle square. Make the middle square a square on point squared off with right triangles. Voila! Castle in the Air.
Mama thinks shades of purple to match his room. His favorite color is green. Bright grass green.
Do you think a deep blue-violet and a light red violet would be too eye bleeding when combined with a kelly green?
What I am contemplating would place the green as the background fabric (again as for a card trick, plus the on point center square), the blue violet as the triangles in the center square, the upper left corner-lower triangle, lower right-upper triangle, right side center- upper, left center- lower, upper center-right, lower center-left. The rest would be red violet. The whole thing would be made of home dyed fabric. So I have a lot of possibilities with what I could do with it.
I wouldn't make anything in these colors for myself, but might an 8 year old boy fancy it? Mama is one of those people that doesn't "see" shades or tints, just colors.
I am dubious enought that I am thinking heck with Mama, make it in greens and blues for the boy. After all I am just making it, and not on commisssion or request.
Whatcha think?
NightMist Maybe do some sunshine yellow resist patterns in the green just to chipper it up.....
