I’ve decided to abandon the color theory class. I can’t see - at this point in time - how color theory will help me with my quilting. I watched a couple of color theory lectures on YouTube and, although the lectures were clearer than the instructor in my class, I’m not persuaded it will help me.

My current goal is to expand my quilt horizon using different blocks - both traditional and modern. I’m pretty shameless about copying someone else’s color combinations if I like them so I’m abandoning color theory for the moment.

I’ve decided to work on a block-a-month sew-along. More about that later.

I fell in love with the Maypole pattern by Suzy Quilts and I discovered that she has a Maypole pattern for pillow covers. I bought it because I’ve been wanting to update my throw pillows. The unfinished cover above I’m calling “spring”. It is way beyond my comfort level with patterned fabric but it turns out to look really good in Mike’s office. I’m working on the second pillow cover and will have them finished in my next post.
