Oops! I went to the quilt shop and did some sewing today . . . and forgot to take any pictures! Ah well. One of the things I worked on was selecting fabrics for a Mystery Quilt my local guild is presenting this year. We need 2 lights, 2 mediums, and 2 darks. Oh boy. Seeing values is one of my weakest areas.
So I’ve learned to do this trick: I take a photo like that one above.
And then I change it to black and white. And here I can see that those mediums really aren’t! Back to the drawing board – er, stash.
In fact, I rejected all of these fabrics in the end. I’m happier with the new set and have started cutting. But those are what I did not take a picture of! Don’t worry. I’ll be showing you how the mystery unfolds, so stay tuned.

3 lights, 2 mediums, and one dark. It really is tricky, isn't it? I've gotten better but still goof sometimes. It will be fun to see the new candidates.
