Experimenting ~ Bella Solids ~ My Favorite Color is Moda


I have recently bought the 
My Favorite Color Panel and Yardage 
that I blogged about Here 
because I loved the fabric.


I decided it would be fun and informational to experiment and do a color comparison with the panel, yardage and my Bella Solids Color Chart. 


Here is a comparison between the panel and my chart 
for one of my favorite colors, Fresh Green.
It is almost spot on.


Here is another panel and chart comparison and favorite, Tangarine.
This one looks very, very close. 


Summer Sky is slightly different, but close enough. 
Again, this is the large panel and my color chart.


Here is a color comparison with the yardage for Petunia.
I do love this color petunia.


The yardage and chart color comparison is near perfect for this one. 

All of these photos were taken inside my house 
with bright early morning sun shining in my frosty windows
and my inside lights turned on.

Conclusion:  
The panel and yardage may be used
 instead of the color chart
to match colors with other fabrics. 




All these items are on sale in February at

I Like Thursday #82 ~ Adding Color to Winter Days

 

A rainbow of color always makes me happy. 

These fabrics are for a new quilt that I am (finally) making for 2021.

A "Temperature Quilt" has been on my To-Do List for a few years.

A "Tiny House Quilt" has been on this list even longer.


A quilt that features the Kona Color of the Year ~ Horizon was added Here.

I have decided to check off all three of these boxes in one quilt.

I bought this jelly roll for the "sky" color for all my house blocks.

This is my color plan for my Temperature House Quilt 2021.

This idea is not my own.

I was inspired by a beautiful House Temperature Quilt in a Facebook Group to which I belong:

Tiny Houses Facebook Group

You have to be a member to see the quilts, but joining is easy

and there is a lot of inspiration in the photos. 

Here are the houses so far for this week.

These blocks measure 4.5" by 5.5"

I am making this quilt my by adding my own twists

I am making the door colors reflect the weather:

yellow for sun, gray for rain, white for snow.

I also added a light lavender door for "wind chill factor"

of more than 10 degrees. 


Yesterday and today are "snow house blocks" as we woke up to 5" of wet snow.


This little sister kitties have been doing a lot of snuggling on the fleece blankets.

The temperature is starting to drop more and temperatures

 are sinking into a polor vortex for the next few days.

I am staying in and sewing.


Fabrics marked and ready for sewing.


These little blocks are easy to make.

I now have lots of little temperature houses all in a row.

Because I was still setting up my plan and finding fabrics, I did not start this quilt until last week and I am currently working on catching up with these blocks so I have the month complete by the 31st.


Even the snacks next to my sewing machine have been colorful this week.

I have also been finding lots of colors to love in future quilts, like

You do need

  My Favorite Color is Moda Pre-Printed Panel

for this quilt. 




I have been sewing my stash as best I can this year,
but this yardage and panel is calling my name!
