What do YOU like, Lori?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 21
etc...
Give me an idea of what colors you would put in what numbered squares and maybe I'll catch on. :wink:

Lori, your suggested method made me realize that I needed to really work my ideas out to see if they would actually work before I asked you to try anything else. So, I downloaded the photo of your cool and warm and printed it out...I numbered the blocks and cut them into actual blocks and started rearranging them...I have had more than a little bit of fun...And since my hair has been gray for a very long time and the dhubby turns in early and the cats are well aware of my crazy ways...all is well that ends well! LOL The numbers were a great idea, but now that I'm a tad more organized than before, I believe we can go by color easier than by individual block number. Here's the code:
Y=yellow
R=rose
O=orange
P=purple
B=blue
G=green
I'm using your 6 rows of 7 blocks layout...I usually try to use all my made blocks too! wink The orientation of the first block (row 1) is top left corner small light and bottom right corner is large dark... sorry, it just happened that way because I went to another table and didn't have yours in front of me to reference...and then the pattern ends up the same...all the same shapes and intersections will be visible.
Row 1 Y P O G O P Y
Row 2 G R B Y B R B
Row 3 Y P O P O G O
Row 4 B R G R B Y B
Row 5 O P Y P O P R
Row 6 G R B R G Y G
This arrangement is the result of these "rules":
All warms on one diagonal
All cools on other diagonal
The three colors of each temp are interchangeable
Don't let any color touch itself
Don't let any color repeat itself in any 4 block combination
When you check around a tiny light 4 patch, all the colors are diffent from each other but there are 2 cools and 2 warms...same when you check around the big white 4 patch... same when you check around the dark 4 patch... I'm calling those intersections by how they formed...Again, I'm really better with other types (ha!) of communication. It's in my head but unless you can see my hands the words don't make this so clear, I fear.... but this is a good exercise for me... I should try harder and more often, I'm guessin'.
Anyway...try this one, please... I believe in Mashuta's "rules" of design... Again, Lori, your work is fantastic...thanks for sharing...I'm anxious to see how this turns out! Geez, I'm not sure I even know what size these blocks are...and did I miss the plans for border(s), binding, and recipient? ROFL...I don't suppose there's any reason for me to know all that...oops...sorry... some of us get carried away, don't we? wave

I'm sure that I can't be of any help....
First I decided that out of 1 and 2..........I liked #2
Went a little further, changed my mind for #3.......NO, decided on #4...........
OMG .........I love #5.
As I said, I can't be of any help..I love them all.
The colors are fantastic.......absolutely beautiful......
