    Here is the pic of the tablerunner I made for a Paint Box Challenge with a small online group. Someone else recently posted a pic of the same pattern in dif colors. This challenge was: Take the initials of the person you have been given the name of--my challenge was VLB. Go to paint store or where ever paint is sold and get paint chips in all colors that the name starts with one of the initials. Then match 3 colors to fabric and you can have an extra color too and make something. I chose a tablerunner. It is a challenge for sure. The main block in the middle was my 4th color not matching initials. The back is the dark purple.

    It is beautiful and I would love to know the names of the colors. Do you give the item to the person who has those initials? And if so, do you give them the paint chips? Gabrielle

    Yes, the tablerunner goes to the person whose name I got. OK here are the colors: Verdant Green, Lavender Meadow, and Bejewelled. Forgot to take the paint chip pics.

    That is a neat idea. Just thinking of other ways to use that idea. And your runner is gorgeous.
