Okay let me share an experience in a local church I had. I was a mother with 4 children going to a strict legalistic church. Because my husband didn't go with me I had to go into a small room that those of us in an unaccompanied mothers had. Our knees touched as we sat in a circle in the out of the room away.(abusive) We where told, this church was the only way to know God, serve Him and be saved. I had had enough and ask how do you know this as the disciples haven't gone to this church. When God created He created carnations, roses etc. If He wanted uniformity He would have created it so.
This is what I believe about color, God created color so lets use it and enjoy the splendor of His creation as we create our works.

Ya know, I really just need to stop asking people what they think unless they also quilt (which I know no one). I think my new mindset for 2011 is if I like it and it makes me happy, it's good enough! ;)

I have been quilting about 25yrs. and I think I have one quilt in my home that I made for my DH. I usually make 2 or 3 a month and wind up giving them to family and friends. I just make patterns that I like and try to fit them to people that mean something to me.

I kinda gave up on making things for our family because they don't seem to appreciate the time I put into it, and especially the thought behind it. It's like it just gets put away and forgotten about, never to be seen again.

The quilt that is in this picture is a king made from Batiks and it is gorgeous if I do say so. I made it for a granddaughter and my daughter put it on her bed. It covers the pillows and hangs to the floor on both sides like a bedspread. The colors are so vibrant my daughter painted to room and hung new sheers to match the quilt! It is the focal point of the room. So I say, do what you want and the rest falls into place. I love color.
