I think we all are in our family. I think they all look fantastic! But of course, the non-quilter that I am has no clue what the heck mediums are, or values etc. So don't listen to MY advice LOL!!!<br />As always, congratulations on being published!!

Looking forward to your post on this and I'll be hopping over to see your Pyramid Pouch in situ as soon as I hit "Send" here! It's just too exciting!!! Wahooo!!!!<br /><br />The more you worked on the fabrics and colors Sandra, the better it got. I was just thinking about Jinny Beyer's advice about adding in black when you went and said it. <br />Todd's couch comment made me laugh - so like a brother! <br />I like to view fabric combos in the wee hours of the morning when the sun hasn't quite come up yet... and you are an early bird so check that out. It helps you pinpoint values very well - like Judy's Black And White photo technique, only her suggestion is much more convenient, LOL.

And here's a big Atta Girl for incorporating zipper tabs. I feel so proud! Can I get myself to cut all those triangles??? Maybe for you Sandra, or maybe it's an excuse to buy the Acuquilt cutter I so desperately want and don't really need... Enjoyed your post about picking fabrics. I LOVE medium--it's my favorite color (tee hee).<br />Pugs and kisses,<br />Nancy<br />P.S. Are you familiar with Week's magazine? It's fabulous!PugMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03334609796932627536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-53921521452300363612015-05-30T10:27:23.153-04:002015-05-30T10:27:23.153-04:00Love your process :) Picking that many fabrics is...Love your process :) Picking that many fabrics is always a challenge. Trying to do that now for a second try at my Winter moons quilt idea. I think my lights were too light, and I didn't have enough variety of tone and print. I look forward to seeing what finished product comes out of your 21 fabrics (and whether the 21 change along the way!)canuckquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02804830507722535614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-39407727703216519742015-05-30T10:25:35.347-04:002015-05-30T10:25:35.347-04:00Funny, while looking at the next-to-last picture a...Funny, while looking at the next-to-last picture and reading the text below it about which one you were going to pull, I was nodding along, thinking you were talking about either #4 or #5 (counting from the left) which read almost the same to me. I was surprised that you pulled something else entirely. 8)<br />I love process posts! It's so much fun to watch how someone else approaches things - always a chance to learn.<br />Can't wait to see the next step in the process!<br />gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208168224439515489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-6869513149128914662015-05-30T10:16:06.767-04:002015-05-30T10:16:06.767-04:00Have you turned that last photo into a black and w...Have you turned that last photo into a black and white photo to get a good read on the contrast? I find this is the best way to really see what I have - because I am usually wrong about how several colors I pull are reading :) <br /><br />Reading your process of pulling fabrics and the decisions to eliminate some, keep others is interesting! Nothing better than a process post ;) They are time consuming however, and I agree, remembering to take pictures along the way is always the hardest part for this very forgetful mind of mine!
