help color wise for a log cabin
#1
hello all...
somewhere down the road one of my projects that i pulled a bunch of florals for is going to be a log cabin quilt (thnx much to whomever i have stolen the idea from lol)
anyway...i think i got the lights and darks down but i would like some extra opinions...
and then i have what i cant really figure out where it fits in a light/dark catagory...maybe they really are in the medium range which will work...
hopefully you can give me some thoughts...TIA

I have found with log cabins that as long as the lights are all "light" and all the darks are "dark", the patterns and values are not as important. Looks like you are doing scrappy, so the differences will just melt into the whole.
I like your selections!!

The one that got me is in the 2nd grouping, bottom row on the right. Then in the 2nd pic, it looks right on.
Unfortunately we often don't see the "real" colours ... go with what it is like IRL!
