Once upon a time I made a whole bunch of Splendid Sampler blocks.
I really really loved them.
And then I lost the entire binder that I was storing them in.
I thought for sure I’d find them, in a day or maybe a week.
It’s been months, and they are still gone. *sob*
So, I must start over making my blocks again. And you know what? That’s ok–because in the Splendid Sampler we are never behind, and the blocks are so much fun that you want to make them twice anyway, right? So I should consider this a fun opportunity! :) (Pep talk to myself.)
Perhaps you have more blocks to make, or are just starting your Splendid Sampler, or just really really need more fabric. ;) I’m here to help. Since I have to start over, I figure, I’ll help someone else get going too. Who wants to win a Fat Quarter Bundle of Summerfest?
That’s what I thought. :) Leave me a comment telling me your favorite color combination right now, and you’re entered to win! I’ll draw a winner on Monday sometime, and send an email. Now wish me luck! I have some sewing to do if I’m going to be on schedule with my blocks when we get to the block I designed (it’s not till January, so I have time! Phew!)
Back to soccer tournaments, sewing and the last days of summer, friends.
Soak it all in. :)
xoxo
April
I can’t believe they are lost! I am loving anything with orange in it. However, I am starting to adore teal.
My favorite colors today are navy, chartreuse, and white.
turquoise and orange :)
In one of your pictures it shows a guide that you are following when sewing. Where do you get that???? I have trouble getting the scant 1/4 seam. Any tips? I like the greens, yellows, pinks!
for me forever it is pink dark red and orange…so cheery…just the best…………….!
I love the soft pastel color ways! Can’t wait to see your block!
I love reds with a spurge of yellow , orange , greens but I think I’m just in love with FABRIC LOL!!
So sorry that all your blocks disappeared!! My favorite color combination (right now) is sunny yellow and grass green. I really have a lot of colors I love, so it’s hard to choose just one combination!
Greens and reds making a few Xmas runners
I love shades of lavender.
That red, aqua, grey combination of the first block was just so great. Love it!
My heart would be broken at losing such a treasure! Your attitude is infectious though about starting over and jut getting it done! My favorite shades are currently teal and yellow. They are warm and cool together and go so well with this summer heat.
Your blocks are beautiful! I hope you find the hideaways soon! My favorite color combination this summer is teal, orangish, and yellow. Jadahlgr at Yahoo dot com
My things dissappear all the time. One day when you least expect it the binder will show up. I’m crazy about red and aqua right now. Can’t get enough! Thanks for the giveaway.
Black and white quilts with the touch of red.
Coral and lime green are a color combo I like. I’m so sorry you lost your blocks. Hopefully one day when you most need a pick me up you’ll find them.
Where oh where can it be? They exist somewhere. Have fun with the remake.
I like blue and orange because my grandchildren do.
I like navy and green!
They aren’t lost just taking a vacation. They will show up when you least expect it, like hen you get totally caught up again. My current favorite color combo is aqua, peach or yellow and grey.
Happy re-sewing! You may get me going on that too! I love Aqua, lime green and a bit of coral.
I think right now, my favorite color combo is different shades of red and greens… my mind is on Christmas quilts so that is why I picked those colors.
Ooo April…love this bundle . I am really enjoying red/gray combos right now
I like purples, lavenders, and colors that go with them. Thanks.
I love pastels with lilac , peach splash of yellow , a dusty pink and a hint of mint. With any patterns floral, geometric, and batik.
I’m really digging the light grey and ice blue combination. I love the contrast and brightness to it.
Praying they will still turn up!
I really like pink and navy right now!
I really like coral and aqua’s right now.
My favorite color combination is pink & blue . . . no it’s pink & green . . . I think it’s black & white . . . oh darn I like all the colors and they all combine so nicely.
I’m sorry you lost all your blocks, but as soon as you start your new ones they may show up. ? I really like red, black, gray, and ivory right now.
HI, isnt ‘Summerfest’ so pretty! I like bright colors like this bundle>favorites red + white! Thank You for your Blog+a great giveaway!
I am loving red/turquoise/yellow right now.
I like lime green and orange and turquoise these days.
I think I’m going with the crowd lately without even realizing so many people liked it too. I’ve always loved blue and usually with a bit of red as contrast, but recently it’s been any shade of blue especially turquoise or teal with orange (melon or dark or pumpkin, any shade of orange).
I am loving deep turquoise, orange, Pink, purple. I’mI’m adoring all your blocks by the way!
Turquoise and lime with as midge of back and yellow.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter, I would love to win this bundle. My favourite colour combo right now is chartreuse and Raspberry pink/red – I am making a quilt for my spare bed in these colours and I just love the combo.
I love pink and orange, with a little red thrown in. Would love to win the fat quarter bundle. Thanks for the opportunity.
Greys and turquoise and to think I at one time didn’t like grey.
Thanks for giveaway
I think everything goes best if there is red, my favorite color. As far as my favorite color combo, I have always been drawn to rainbow spectrums. That is why I fell in love with your modern Hex pattern and ruler set from my first glimpse of it from a Moda market photo.
This new bundle looks like a softer fresh look to a rainbow theme. Love it too.
I’m liking teal’s . I am a green lover .
Oh no….. lost blocks. I do hope you eventually find them.
My favorite color combination varies but I do love turquoise/aqua with a rich brown. Have a project in those colors I need to work on. (And I found it again recently……..)
I have always loved blue and orange together, it’s still my favorite color combination!
Oh, how sad to lose all that work. I hope you find it eventually. Favorite combination now is red, Aqua, and apple green.
How sad!
I love all colors, but I really like greens and pinks.
Yay! Thanks for the chance to win! Love your new Summerfest fabric soooo much!!!
Also, I love red, Aqua, and butter/sunshine yellow.
That is so sad! Sounds exactly like something I would do! My fave color combo right now is the aqua, red, and pinks like in Little Ruby!
Gray and teal are working for me lately.
I’m kind of in love with burgundy and navy right now!
what a bummer to lose your blocks-hope they turn up sometime! I’m loving red with any other color-the more the merrier!
I have always loved yellow. And with green!!! All the love for those colors.
I love anything with teal! Hope u run across those blocks.
I’m always drawn to turquoise and dark blue together :-)
Love the colors in the stack. My fave is teal but also love yellow, pink, orange. That sounds like a great summer blend of sherbet or even popsicles.
I am so sorry you lost your blocks. They probably will show up after the new ones are done.
That block right up there ☝?️ made with orange/peach & aqua/turquoise – those are my favorite colors!
Sorry to hear about your lost blocks. :( My favorite color combination right now is navy and Aqua.

My favorite color combination right now is teal and purple.
Aqua/teal, white, black, various grays. You will find them when you least expect it.
I can’t believe you haven’t found them! Surely they are in the “I’ve looked here a million times” place or the “they would never be in there” place.
The color combo of red, aqua, and white is my true love.
Thanks for the chance!
I love blues and greens.
Navy and (insert most any other color here). Really, I just love navy and think everything goes with it! I hope you find that binder!
So hard to choose! I really want to do a navy and orange quilt and a red and teal/Aqua quilt. I just finished a Summerfest quilt and now want to make one for myself?.
My favorite right now is either turquoise, white with a splash of red. Or it is light blue, dark blue, red and white.
Oh how to choose…..some hours it will be orange or green and then I turn around and want pastels. Who knows, that’s why we have so much fabric and so many projects going, right. Good luck with your second set. How much fun it will be when your first set turns up….bonus!
So sad that your blocks are gone. Watch, you will get these made and then you will find them. I would love to win. Favorite color combo? Right now because of things I am working on it is blue and white, and teal and linen.
Loving a Dusty Mint with some Mandarin orange at the moment, it’s a big change from my usual safe white and blue. I really hope your binder re-appears soon!
Aqua and lime are making me wild this summer. Thanks for the give away. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that your collection of blocks will re-appear. Then you’ll have a quilt twice as nice.
I’m loving aqua and pink.
My fave right now is actually the colors in your bundle. For my Splendid Sampler blocks I started with a bundle of Pat Sloan’s fabric and her colors are your colors! Love them!!
At the moment is all blue… Little boy take over :)
I love navy and grey
What a bummer! Maybe they’ll turn up once you’ve remade them, happens to me sometimes! I’m liking coral and blues together right now.
Oh my gosh I can not image losing all that work!!!! I am also just starting the sampler — only for the 1st time. I just now decided to commit for a variety of reasons of which I’ll not go into because you probably don’t have the time and the blog will limit my characters I’m sure. LOL
My favorite color combinations right now and blue and yellow. I am on a kick with blues/ yellows and I have also been doing a couple of black and white projects. Total opposites I know but that is me!
OH no…a little prayer to the Saint of lost items…….?
I am enjoying neutrals with a pop of color
Love your Summerfest fabric – so bright and cheerful!! I’m really enjoying the aquas and blues at the moment with a touch of yellow :)! Hope you find your blocks before you’ve resewn them ;)!

What a bummer!!! I would cry!! But way to have a positive attitude about it. ;) Hugs!! I LOVE your fabrics! And would love to win this generous bundle! (It would complete my collection of all your fabrics) ;) my favorite color scheme right now? That’s a hard question, but I’m really loving the pink and salmon and white tie dye shirt i made my baby while we were on vacation last week! :) Happy quilting!!
red and turquoise . I really need this bundle. I am in love with it
Right now I’m loving yellow, pink and red. It’s pretty valentiney looking, but I’m loving the color combo!
What an awful loss! So many hours and such beautiful blocks!! I hope it turns up for you soon! My fav color combo lately is lavender and teal plus white. Always white. I just love the way it makes everything pop.
I can’t believe you lost them! I just moved my sewing space and low and behold I could 6 thing that had disappeared. Right now I am enjoying bright spring-y colors in all shades. Especially enjoying the Blueberry bright line

So sad about the blocks:( My favorite colors orange and blue.
Your fabrics are so pretty! I am crushing on anything with red – red with Aqua, red with green, red with yellow. Red❤️?
My favorite combo right now (and actually always … always) is aqua and red. Spicing things up by adding a little gray. Not the newest or the freshest, but it speaks to me. Thanks for the opportunity.
Blue and green. The limey one.
How frustrating! Your missing binder will turn up eventually, then you’ll get to make something new with those blocks. Favorite color combination – purple, mint and light blue with a touch of dark teal for accent. I’d love to play with a FQ bundle of your Summerfest line – thanks for the giveaway!p

Misspelled my email, Correct now.
Red with every thing.
If you’re like me, you put them in a safe place! Totally logical, at the time. ? Hopefully, you find them soon. But, yes you can start over or go on from where you were.
I’m not sure I have a favorite color combo. I just love beautiful fabric.
My splendid sampler is red, aqua, navy. I’m trying to add in more grey and some black. I love seeing all the combinations of fabrics and colors different people come up with for the same blocks. It’s such a fun sew along!
You’ll find your blocks as soon as you make the new ones then, score, you’ll have two quilts. I’m crushing on pink and orange, weird I know.
I like All colors and use them all together in s”scrap” quilts. World love to win this bundle. Thank you for the giveaway!
Don’t you just hate it when things go missing? They will turn up when you least expect it! I am really liking the coral and teal. But in that bundle they are all great colors.
I can’t believe you lost your binders. How sad! I love to look through my binder of blocks. Good for you for having a good attitude about it. I like what you said about how we are never behind! I’m about halfway through the first fifty blocks. All the excitement around the 50th block has motivated me to get going!
As for colors, Right now I’m really into grays, blues with a pop of a bright color like pink!
Such a bummer on your blocks! We are desperately looking for some pieces I cut out for my daughter’s project that I KNOW I left on my cutting table, and they are no where to be seen. :-(
My favorite color combination right now is navy and aqua. Sometimes I throw in some magenta.
hmmm……I’ve always loved blue colorways, but lately I’ve been leaning towards grey with lime green and lemon yellows…
My favorite color combo right now is turquoise, purple, navy, lime green. I’m planning my sister’s quilt with this color palette and the Dragonfly Dance fabrics.
tushay3 (at) yahoo (dot) com
I love purple and teal together! Lots of energy!!!
Any bright color paired with white…love the excitement of it!
I never used to care much for orange, yet I am lately drawn to colors of a peachy nature. It must be fresh peach season! I love summer.
Loving lime green and turquoise right now! Sorry your binder is lost :(
How heartbreaking…. I am so sorry!!!! I love your attitude!!! New beginnings are very exciting….have fun!!!! I have a hard time narrowing down a favorite color combination. But that beautiful bundle of yours is gorgeous!!!! I love everything about it!!!! ??
I think I love the aqua and reds, but i love many blue combination and many color combinations and I would love your fat quarter bundle.
Sorry about your blocks. Sob! Love your bundle! Fabulous! Just made a blue and yellow quilt …or two! I guess that is a current favourite. Love multicoloured wild quilts the best!
I’s glad you said “right now” because I like all colors, but I did a pink and brown heart table runner and each time I see it, I smile at the color combo. Kathy in colo
Raspberry, lime and navy. ?
Sew sorry your binder of SS blocks walked off somewhere…your attitude is very special about starting over again; not sure I could be that brave…kudos! Love your blocks and fabric choices…I am leaning toward teals and raspberry color choices with low volume backgrounds…thanks for the giveaway opportunity…someone will be one very lucky quilter!
My favorite combination right now is salmon and soft blues!!
Wow, that’s to bad about your blocks. I’ve thought about going back and redoing some since I’ve learned so much along with way, but I figure that the older ones show character. Hope it shows up sometime. Right now I love coral and navy. Thanks for the giveaway!

Honestly I love any color especially when paired with text fabric! Aqua is my all one favorite. You can pair it with any color and I love it.
So sorry you have to start over! That is hard. I love the color combos in Summerfest. So pretty. But I also have red and blue and yellow on the brain. I just finished a Swoon quilt in those colors and I am just in love.
Bless your heart…but I love your optimistic attitude!!! I seem to still love apple green…it is a happy color, and oranges have been catching my eye this summer. I think i am in denial about summer ending, but I do love fall!!!!! Thank you for the lovely chance!!!!

I love lime green and yellow
You have a much better outlook on losing the blocks than I would! I find I’m drawn to color combinations I wouldn’t have been a year ago. Pinks and navy, or coral and aquas are really getting me lately.
Right now I love coral and grey. Oh wait I love the dark pinks, purples and greens of my sunset quilt. And there are the bright pinks aqua orange yellow and lime greens of summer. I guess I just love them all!
Orange with white reminds me of a Creamsicle!
My favorite right now is black, olive and plum! Im definitely ready for fall! And hoodies… also you are amazing for starting over. I dont know that I would have done that!
I once lost twenty Dear Jane blocks. Six months later they just showed up. So don’t give up hope.

But really – ALL fabric! LOL!
Thanks.
Right now I love teal/ coral and pink/green combos. But really I love just about all fabrics.
Keep searching MAYBE it’ll turn up? Drives me bananas when I misplace something like that! If not, starting over isn’t to , to bad…Aqua,teal & coral are my favs right now. Awesome giveaway thanks so much!

Sorry to read about losing your blocks. I have made some of mine over because I did not like my first color choice. I’m using left overs from quilts I’ve made.
Right now my favorite is red and white. In any combination. Red and whiter quilts are so classic and timeless. :-)
I can relate as far losing projects, I always end up losing some part of it and it drives me nuts! Gosh I sure do hope you find them!
So right now my color combos I like are teal and brown or teal and grey. Love all teal combos but those are my favorite! :)
May sound like I’m just trying to impress you, but this collection IS the color combo I’m drawn to lately! It’s just so fresh – like a California orange grove with ripe fruit ready for picking. I love it!
Long time favorites are kelly green and cobalt. :)
Red & Aqua with some grey. Hope your blocks resurface soon!
I am loving the non-primary colors right now (I know there’s a term for them). Aqua, coral, lime green and orchid. What an awesome giveaway- thank you for shot! ?

My colors this week are coral, white and turquoise! Thanks for a chance!
I am really liking black, gray, silver and white right now! I usually get bright happy colors but bought a bunch of FQ in those colors today!

I’m on a red / black kick. It will change soon !!!!

I am loving red, turquoise, green, pink and orange! I am so sorry to hear you lost your splendor samples! ?
I love aqua and red but am really starting to love orange. But of course everything seems to go with green!!
So sorry to hear you lost the blocks. Losing things is maddening!!
Love any cool palette! Purples, teals, turquoise make me smile! But I am using more basic navy, red, Aqua, pink and chartreuse pallets in my SS blocks (Vintage Picnic), but I thought long and hard about Summerfest!
Red and aqua is my favorite color combo. Thanks for the giveaway!!
Red, orange, magenta and mint.
Great giveaway! I can’t decide; I seem to gravitate to bright colors.
I was drooling over your photo just now and saying how much I love the colors in it because “those are my favorite colors!!” Aqua, red, orange and green!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My favorite color combination is red and turquoise with orange thrown in for an accent. Thanks April. Sorry about your lost binder. That is the pits. All that hard work…….
In the summer I love fruity colours like cherry red, orange, lime, lemon,and a reflection of turquoise off the lake! Wow, hope your blocks show up somewhere!! Maybe they are like the travelling Gnombe and they will show up 7 months from now with pictures and a journal of their travels!! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1043552/Gnome-Stolen-garden-elf-returned-7-month-adventure-world.html
I must got finished with “Flower Girl” using red, turquoise, seems like it might have been Ruby. But, adding the orange to it, just makes it delicious! I love every single one of these colors. I spent the last few years making quilts for my 7 grandchildren, now it is my turn to get one! Would love to have this fabric for my first quilt!
I love aqua, red, light blue, gray, cream and dark brown right now
I’m so sorry you can’t find your blocks! :-( I hope they reappear soon. My favorite color combination right now would be navy, peach/blush, mint green, and taupe..or some variation thereof. Random, but I’m just kinda drawn to them right now.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I love peach, yellow, and green. I know that binder will show up!
Oh dear, I do hope you find them one day, they will make something sweet. Right now my favourite combinations are orange and turquoise :) Good luck, may you have a few rainy days to get you going.
Love your blocks and all your work. I just finished a quilt for my college roommate’s first baby that was shades of lime, coral, and blue. So fresh and happy and suitable for a little boy or girl baby!
I like gray, poppy, navy and a softer blue….today! I never really “got” sampler quilts, and I fell behind because I got frustrated picking fabrics. After seeing other people’s squares, I feel like I have a clearer idea of what I like now… I’m going to start full speed ahead, and now I know I won’t be playing catch up by myself!!! I hope you find your other ones but have fun with your new start… and thanks for the giveaway!
Your blocks are precious and I hope they turn up! My favorite colors vary, but when it comes to sewing I dearly love aqua and coral, and aqua and red.

You seem to have a good perspective on starting fresh, and I really appreciate your giveaway! Favorite color way right now – something new that i have never paired up but want to give a try, reds, turquoise, browns, creams, coral, and some golds. I have a Japanese inspired koi fish print that uses this colorway and I would love to use it on a larger scale in a quilt. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us!
I’m obsessed with navy/orange/white combinations at the moment, because I bought a rug with those colours and want to make matching cushions

My current love is Still yellow & blue together. They just look right to me.
My current favorite is coral and navy! And your blocks are beautiful – I hope you find them soon!!

My favorite color combinations right now are red, orange and yellow. Oops now it is blues, greens, and purples….reds, white and blue…I can go on but you get the idea. I love color and fabric. I feel like Golum…Precious, my precious when I am looking at a beautiful group of fabrics. :)
Red, aqua or turquoise, and gray.
Summery – yellows, blues, oranges, reds.
My favorite colors lately are red and all shades of blue. I’m using 30s fabrics for my SS blocks. All have red. Most have blue also. Some have green or yellow too.
Blue and purple!
Oh my! I can’t believe you have possibly lost your blocks! They will show up, I’m sure. I am looking forward to your block… you are very inspirational and upbeat.
My current favorite colors are the ones I am using for the splendid sampler, which is a greenish grey, black, ivory and a bright red. my second favorite is red, white, & blue. usually I love blues and greens, but lately it’s been reds. Oh well, it I must go with it… I may have to go shopping!
thanks for a chance at winning fabric!
Definitely wanting everything in blues and greens right now. Greens with yellows, and blues with more blues! lol :) Love your blocks!
I just love color! Right now I’m using orangey-red, aqua, yellow-gold, with splashes of lime green. Summerfest is my favorite line right now!!
I’ve always loved teal and grey, but lately I’ve been craving corals and soft blues. Wish I could wave a wand and help your binder magically appear- your original blocks were gorgeous! However, as we are all learning, a second chance at these blocks is worthwhile- new colors, better intersections, different embellishments. I hope you find your originals, though.
I’m loving blues and greens lately! Hope you find your binder soon
I love color :) .. Right now I’m playing with jewel tones set against black. Really pretty! Also love red and aqua together.
When I can’t find what I’m looking for I just say it is in a safe place. Hopefully someday we’ll all find that safe place. I have many things there taking up space.
My current favorite color combo is coral, turquoise and white thrown in the mix.
Thanks, would love to win,
Tracy
Oh I’m so sorry about the lost ones, ugh!!
I love the colors of the rainbow! It’s just too hard to really pick because I love just about any or all!
So sorry for your lost blocks, I love aqua & orange right now .
Aqua and red at the moment. Though tomorrow might be something different! ?
Navy and yellow right now…but that can change at any second…and then again a second after that! I love them all!
Turquoise and coral are my current favorites!?Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m really into summer colors right now — the colors of flowers. My favorites are the roses and reds along with the greens. Thank you for the opportunity to win fabric. If I’m the lucky one – I will use on Splendid blocks!
How sad you can’t find your blocks, but how wonderful for your generous giveaway. I
Love agua and red. Thank you!
After working with more “modern” combinations for a long time, right now I am leaning back toward classic pairings — red and white, blue and white, and red, white, and blue. Must be feeling patriotic in spite of the election campaign drama — lol!
I have been working on a red and aqua and really love it! But I also have been collecting orange sherbet, grey and some blues that look amazing together!
I love pastels, and pink, yellow, green and blues are a favorite right now.
i am loving bright colors pink and purple and yellow I planted some flowers recently and they brighten my day when I walk outside to check the mail. I sure hope your blocks turn up its not fun to misplace things and the hours that go into finding them… Pete the Cat helps me in situations like this.
Great pep talk! My favorite color combination right now is salmon and Aqua. Thanks for the fun giveaway! Summer fest is one of my favorites.
Today? My favorite colors are vintage mint, Georgian peach and white.
Tomorrow? Who knows LOL!
Ugh. I hate when that happens – put something in a safe place, but then forget where that safe place is.
My favorite combos right now are Aqua and grey or brights and white.
At the moment I adore neutrals with a pop of colour, such as red or bright yellow – out of the norm for me
I have always loved aqua and red together, it can look very retro or quite fresh and contemporary. I hope you find your binder – I’m always losing stuff too.
Im loving Teal and Gray right now!
Pale pink, grey & white
Red & Aqua
Lime green, navy & white……
I could keep going on and on and on…. ?
I’m loving that greenish blue. And navy
Your blocks really will turn up at the bottom of a stack sometime.
I am loving watermelon red and apple green with white, of course…and maybe throw in a little yellow.
Summerfest is at the top of my wish list for my birthday next month! My all-time favorite color combination is pink and green.????
Lovely giveaway!
I am leaning towards soft blue, green and butter yellow.
Or turquoise and red.
Great spirit re making more blocks!
I am still hoping your blocks are found!
I am loving corals and yellows. Speaking of yellow, think on the “bright” side, when you do find your binder you are going to have double the blocks! ??
Red and turquoise! I’ve been putting them together a bunch lately :) Red is my favorite color, though, so I will put it with anything and everything.
I am so sorry your lovely blocks are missing. I hope they show up soon. My favorite color has always been blue. Right now I am making quilts for children (mostly project linus) and I have been leaning toward turqouise and lime with maybe a little yellow, black or orange.
I love working with jewel tones
I am so sorry that your blocks are lost and hope they show up soon! My favorite combo is blue and green.
Stuck on indigo/denim and pale mint at the moment…in my purchasing! Still haven’t *made* anything to scratch that itch.
My favorite color combo was black, white and lime. Now I’m leaning toward shades of blue and white. Hope your blocks come home soon! So devastating after all your time and hard work. Thanks for this fabric giveaway opportunity.
Purple, turquoise and lime. Been a line lover for as long as I can remember. Show me the Moda!
I’m sorry you lost your binder but what a great attitude to just make more blocks. My favorite color combo is green and orange.
Halfway already – what a lovely journey.
My favourite colour combo right now is red, turquoise and jade.
Looking forward to your block in January.
Red, white and blue! I think summer screens patriotic and I’m thinking of Olympic pride!
Grey, yellow and white are stealing my heart these days :)
So I’m normally not a big fan of red, but my friend Annalee is constantly quilting with red, pink, and Aqua/ teal and it’s all so amazing I want to do it too! Love the bundle you’re offering though!
I’m loving a bright peach with a bright olive green. Very perky.
Red and white is the current favorite. I’m making a wedding quilt for my nephew’s December event. Trying to create a geometric, modern quilt. Love that aqua in your bundle!
Just love aqua and orange together!
I’m into red, aqua and grey!
Oh such a shame your folder is lost. Start making the blocks again and it just may turn up, which would be nice.
I love aqua, green, pink. Actually very much the colours in that gorgeous fq bundle. They are the colours I always seem to come back to.
Please have a Mother’s look , go very slow as you look as your folder is there…I love Blue and white thankyou
Today’s favourite colour combination is pale blue and cream – very soft and feminine.
Tomorrow’s may be different!
Sorry you lost your blocks – you are being very philosophical about the loss. Of course, they will appear as soon as you have re-made them!.
My favorite combo right now is deep raspberry and mustard yellow.
Oh, wow, hopefully they will be found again! And you are brave and encouraging to start over again! I lost my track (not the blocks..) and your post just encouraged me to sew on! Thanks so much! And thanks so much also for the lovely give away!
Uup, forgot to mention my favourite combo right now. I think it would be aqua and red. But every combination with blue is good for me, lol!
I’m into a turquoise and coral phase, which goes along with the color scheme of the moment it seems. This bundle is so luscious and would love a quilt made of these fabrics. You’re so generous to have a great giveaway.
Posted the wrong email. Writing again to put in the correct one. Sorry!
I’m loving Coral & Navy. For some reason almost all of my summer clothes are Navy & Coral this year.
I love using black, white, grey and teal.
So sorry your blocks are missing but look forward to see the new one you’ll be making! Navy, pink and mint are really catching my attention lately, but I love all the colors!
Favourite colour combination yellow, grey, orange and white – at the moment
Turquoise and orange. So fresh!
Pinks, oranges, and yellows. I know just when you’ll find those blocks. Once you finish your quilt!
Orange and grey have been favourites for awhile. But now I’m thinking grey with yellow, grey with teal, grey with baby blue….
I love aqua and teal with just about anything but right now I love adding raspberry, green and grey. Thanks for the chance to win that beautiful bundle!
Oh no, I can’t believe you lost them all! Hope you’ll find them again (probably after you remade them all;-).
My favorite color combo is aqua and red with a bit white mixed in.
I love pink and yellow together!
Love any colors esp with orange in it
What a shame you lost them. When you are on your final block it will turn up. My favorite color combo for a while now has been turquoise and orange. Thanks for a chance to win!
I love that coral color with teal and pale yellow. You’re fabrics are so pretty.
I am loving red, pink and white with a little yellow tossed in.
I love so many colors, but right now I’m into bright pink and turquoise. Thanks for the chance to win.
I’m having fun with marine or ocean blue, chartreuse and rich aqua – summer influence maybe!?
Thanks for the chance to win.
Sorry you lost your beautiful happy blocks! My favorite color combo right now is cheddar and gray. Pink and brown are pretty great together too…
Sorry about your blocks, I hope they turn up. Looks like lots of people want this. Right now I am liking green and grape.
I’m a fan of blue and white. A classic and timeless colour combination
Hello! Right now I am thinking Fall…and so I would choose nice hues of orange and perhaps rust and reds. :)
Navy and anything right now–navy and gray, navy and red, navy and bright green.
And, April, you know that the most sure way to find your blocks is to get well into making the new ones. So, don’t despair.
Pink and orange at the moment!
My natural tendency is toward autumn colors but to switch it up, I force myself to try jewel tones.
I am always misplacing something in my sewing room, but it usually turns up so I’m sure you will find your blocks. Wishing you luck! My favourite colour combinations are red, aqua and grey. Thank you for the great giveaway and the chance to win.
So hard to choose – love so many colors! Today (at this moment) I will say lime green, navy, white.
When your blocks show back up again you will have two splendid sampler quilts ? I think teals and greens with navy are my current favorite then I start adding every color… So I’m in love with color… The more the better! Good luck ?☘
Hi April, my favorite color combination is Royal Blue, Teal, Magenta and Fuchsia.
I am loving the red, aqua, and gray and pastel bundles, and black and whites and any colors! I love them all!
I love teal and red. I think it reminds me of the 50’s, which I’m a product of!!
I like blue and yellow.
I think your notebook and my favorite 6×12 ruler are off living their lives together somewhere warm and beautiful!! I am really into gray and teas currently but as a true fabriholic I adore it all! ;)
Goodness, I hope your missing blocks reappear soon. I suppose the best way to make them reappear is to start remaking them… That always works for me.
My favorite color combination lately is coral and green.. Which is surprising since I’ve never been a fan of orange…
Oh, I hope you find your binder. That is how I am storing mine, too. Turquoise and reds seem to be dominant in my blocks right now which is surprising since I am into more primitive colors! I just love fabric!
Right now, I’m on a black and white roll. Ooohh, but then I can add splashes of color for a fun look.
Certainly, all luck to you. It may turn up when you’ve made a few blocks. Aqua/red and peach/red are my lively choices.
I’ve been loving these blocks all year, but haven’t made any. Choosing the fabric for a sampler is too intimidating.
Read and….practically anything. Lately, I like red and purple and grey together!
Sorry you have lost your blocks. I chose to do mine in 30’s reproduction fabrics so i really don’t have a color scheme. But I love any combination of hand dyes or batiks.
My favourite colour combination right now is lime green and aqua blue. Just love them together and am planning my next quilt using those two colours.
I have been doing so scrappy and not sure of a favorite combination. Grays have been drawing my attention. I always love the deep reds.
Hi – I have been making my Splendid Sampler by just using scraps from my stash. I don’t really have a preference – anything goes. Hope you find your binder. Awaiting your design. Thanks for participating.
Love corals and red like the ones in Miss Kate fabrics. The blocks will turn up, and be a sweet surprise some day!
I’m loving blues and oranges right now. Sorry you lost your blocks- hope they show up soon!! Thanks for the chance to win!
My favourite colour combination at the moment would be turquoise and white.
So sad. I hope they all turn up soon. I love aquas, reds, greens, and pinks!
My favorite ‘lifetime’ colors are simply blue and white, but I have two granddaughters I sew for now and there is much more pink (and purple) in my sewing room, but for my own home I’m using more of the “Arts & Crafts” colors – shades of greens, oranges, browns, & creams.
Oh no, lost blocks! I have lost inns too, and by the time I find them I don’t like them anymore so I start over anyway! Righ now I am loving aqua with red or pink! I love this bundle, it’s so happy!
I always love red, white and blue for the summer but am starting to think about fall a little and am loving pumpkin colors!
Any bright vibrant colors.
Yikes, so sorry you lost your blocks. Hope you find them! Love your colors in the blocks above. I am using Cotton and Steel fat quarters from Craftsy.
Black with anything….Halloween….Christmas….purple with yellow orange and red(my fav)
Oh no! Sorry you can’t find them! I’m so far “behind” but hoping to get back at it soon. My fv. combos right now are bright and low volume! Have fun starting over, the blocks are fun!
So sorry that you can’t find your blocks!!! What a positive attitude! My favorite color combo right now is anything that goes with a grey background. Love red and aqua together thanks for a great giveaway.
Right now I’m liking turquoise and orange, light and bright ones.
I love lavender and when greys are added to the mix.
I love navy and sunny yellow. Recently I have been pulling in greys. My forever love is any shade of blue.
Keep looking! They’ll show up when and where you least expect them! I’m a blue and red in all their variations gal, but lately I’m loving the oranges, too.
The main palette I’ve been working with lately has been my 1930s prints; but I’m heavily drawn to red and white right now (I have 2-3 queen sized planned in short order), after doing three blue and white in the last two years (plus a POTC WIP using the leftovers!).
Hi, loved reading your blog! Turquoise makes me happy so it would always have to feature strongly, in the past I’ve loved it with coral/red but at present acid green is working for me. Plus low volumes.
I couldn’t sleep with missing cherished blocks! Hope you find them some day/year!
Colors, it changes frequently! Lately it’s been corals, teals and lots of dangerous beautiful white!
Thanks!
At the moment I’m enjoying aqua with a pink and a pop of a zingy acid green!
My favorite combo is red and white. Love the crisp contrast between the two colors. Your fabric is very pretty and would make a wonderful quilt for one of my granddaughters. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I love blue tone-on-tones, but I have seen some lovely apricot and turquoise blocks by other Splendid Sampler participants. It’s not a combo I would have thought to put together but I just love the way it looks! One of the most fun things for me has been seeing the color combinations other quilters have chosen for their blocks. Thanks for hosting this giveaway. I love the fabrics in the collection you are awarding!
Right now I’m playing with coral and dark aqua and sand…..kind of a beachy vibe.
Right now I am loving coral and gray. Summerfest is so beautiful–thanks for the chance!
I’ve been stuck on coral and navy for a while now. It still draws me in. You know that as soon as you begin remaking blocks, you’ll find the first set.
I am loving oranges and red today!
Love most all colors and putting them together in a scrap quilt. But, am currently loving lime green and purple. Thanks.
I love lots of colorways but especially anything with yellow in it. So my sampler now has all colors in it and lots of yellow.
I am loving teal and lime green. Have made some clothing for my granddaughter and she has loved them.
Oh, how I feel for you! Your blocks are beautiful and I’m so sorry they are lost! I hope they turn up. And how generous of you to help someone else get started with this wonderful fabric giveaway! My favorite color combination is green and purple.
I hope you find your blocks! The fabric is beautiful. I’ve been on turquoise, navy blur and lime green kick lately. Thanks for your inspiration.
I hope you find your blocks! The fabric is beautiful. I’ve been on a turquoise, navy blue and lime green kick lately. Thanks for your inspiration.
Red & Aqua!
Love brights can never have to much yellow. I am loving yellow orange green and pink, and am enjoying the jorney
My favorite colors now are aqua and lime green.
Oh dear! So sorry to hear about the AWOL blocks! You will find them where you least expect to! Right now I am loving navy blue, aqua and lime green combinations!
I’m obsessed with rainbow quilts right now. Sorry to hear you lost your blocks. If your luck is anything like mine, the binder will magically appear the minute you’ve redone your blocks, lol! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
My true loves are aqua and a cherry pinky/red:)
I love aqua and tangerine together.
Love your blocks!
I’m in love with red and aqua with a little navy and lime green. I checked to see if it was you and your notebook in the pictures on Joan Ford’s blog when she was in Syracuse. Alas, it was not. I do love that fabric bundle and am keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for such a great opportunity. p.s. I hope your notebook shows up then you could make a bigger quilt!
greys and yellows with a touch of either black or aqua thrown in. I am obsessed with making a red and white quilt though – have my fabrics, just need to decide on a pattern.
I’d love to make a yellow and black quilt. However, my stash is also lacking neutrals for background fabrics and solid colors. And I luv autumn colors!! I would be over the moon to add your “Summerfest” bundle. Thanks for the giveaway.
A difficult question… Grey, navy and turquoise.
Aqua and coral. So fun to see what everyone else likes.
Im loving aqua and red. Thanks for the great giveaway
Purple on the redish side, but still purple — Bright orange — bright green — and cream
Everyone in my house is a fan of this combo!
Right now I like blues and browns, tomorrow who knows.
Hope those missing blocks come back from their vacation soon. Have you tried the St. Anthony prayer? “Tony. Tony, come around, something’s lost and must be found.”
Thanks for sharing your experience!
WOOHOO! ❤️ I really really want to start one! :0)
my actual favorite colors are turquoise and yellow…
thank you for this amazing giveaway and chance to win ❤️❤️❤️
have a beautiful day
Gesine
My fave combo right now is aqua, lime, and cherry red. When I need more colors, I add butter yellow or navy. Have faith, your binder will turn up when you least expect to see it. Then you’ll have some extra blocks for a special pillow, backing, or label!
I really enjoy working with a lot of bright color and always but in a little red or yellow in most every thing I make I hope your blocks will quit playing hide and seek with you, I know how frusterating that can be…right now my favorite embroidery hoop is hiding and I don’t want to use the larger one…
I am working on a quilt right now that is in really bright pinks, greens, turquoise, yellow, purple, and a bit of navy blue. With all of the bright colors, I can’t help but be in a cheerful mood!
Good luck with your blocks! I’m loving peaches and light greens right now.
Navy, soft blue, spring green, soft yellow
I’ve been doing repro fabrics for so long that anything fresh and bright makes me happy. Teal and red, minty green and yellow, sherbet colors, it’s hard to choose!
Always come back to blue. Right now blue and yellow
Currently I’m liking blue and yellow. That is subject to change.
Right now I’m working on a blue and orange combo…love it!
My most frequent combination is pink, aqua and red!
My go to fabric combination has always been blue and green – BUT – lately I’ve been drawn to salmon and yellow. LOvE the summer colors :)
I love teal and red
Nice to meet you April, my favourite colour flavour of the day is turquoise and orange
I love bold colors, not a fan of browns, and contrasting with grays
Normally I end up using muted colors, but I am working with brights such as in the featured fat quarter bundle for the Splendid Sampler. How fun it would be to win more fabric ! Thanks for the fun post.
aqua and orange for me! Or navy and lime! Really so many wonderful combos!
Lately I’ve been loving pastels paired with medium brown…mint/brown, aqua/brown, pink/brown, etc. Also like orange and navy and there’s always the obligatory aqua/red combo. You are so thoughtful for hosting this giveaway as well as contributing you effort, time and talent to the splendid sampler. We really do appreciate this opportunity!
My splendid sampler quilt will be the first quilt in 40 years that I am making for myself, the colors are purple, blue, green and yellow, all of which I love
Oh no – so discouraging to lose so much beautiful work! I am always drawn to bright clear colors – they make me happy!
I love the green, pinks and reds ;)
I have been drawn to the Fig Tree color line…especially the soft black, which is so far from anything I have ever done before. Her whole color line is so gentle!
Yellow, lilac, green, pink and blue 30’s are my favorite combination at the moment. I am just starting, just signed up. Don’t worry you WILL find them, i lose stuff for months all the time. Good luck! laura333369@gmail.com
Funny you should talk about starting over! I,ve been thinking about doing just that now that we have hit the halfway mark! I have learned SO much and feel like I need a redo. One skill I lack is color knowledge. I want to work on that, but your bundle would be a perfect jump start! Thank you for the opportunity!
I bet you’ll find your blocks in the last place you look! Lol, so sorry you lost them. Just think it is a temporary thing, when your meant to find them they will show up. :) my favorite colors are anything that looks summery and is a happy color. Bright cheerful colors! Thank you so much for all you do! You are one talented lady, that’s for sure! :)
You will find them as soon as you re-make them you know. It’s always the way. My go to fabrics are black and white with a pop of color. Thanks for the chance to win!
I am into bright colors, orange yellow and pinks are finding there way into my blocks.
You poor soul! To lose all your hard work! Still, this gives you the opportunity to perfect those blocks. Good Luck!
Color combo heaven for me right now is jewel tones- emerald green, royal blue, garnet red- with a dash of sunshine yellow.
I believe you will find your binder of blocks, but maybe not before you make new blocks! I love your fabrics! My favorite colors right now are red and aqua or purple and orange. Thanks for the giveaway!
I am loving the two tone quilts but then again I love the Summerfest colors. Lets face it I just love fabric and hope to win this one. One can never have too much fabric.
Love the fabric. I enjoy aqua and red. Hope you find your blocks!
I would be devastated if I lost all those beautiful blocks. Who knows, maybe one day they will show up and you can redo the whole project? My favourite colour combination is cherry-red and turquoise.
I am working in a rainbow of colors for SS and I’m loving the variety.
I love shades of orange from light to dark. teal is a close second.
Love blues, greens and purples.
Thankyou!
As soon as you finish remaking them your lost blocks will magically reappear! Right now I’m into all shades of blue and teal, with a little gray and white accents.
I love pink and gray. Thanks for the giveaway, the fabric is beautiful!
Anything yellow with gray right now. Hope you find your binder.
I just love color, but, my eye is always drawn to blue, white and yellow. These colors always remind me of the sky, clouds and sun! Hope you find your binder, as that is so sad! But, it will be fun to remake the blocks! It will be easier the second time! Thanks for the giveaway. I love the colors in the fat quarter bundle also.
OMG…I would have cried! To misplace your blocks?! I’m almost in tears for you! I have been enjoying this group so much!
M favorite combo is purple and green. Also like brights!
Still llove my sampler colors –red, white and blue. Also my fav Olympic combo– go USA!
My favorite colors are red, white, and blue, with a dash of yellow!
Blues and whites, but really love all colors. The hardest part of the SS for me is picking colors for each block. So sorry you lost your book with your blocks. Hopefully, it will turn up soon.
My favorite combo is Teal & Grey with a bit of Red. :)
Hello, my favorite colors are those of your Summerfest fabrics!! I love, love, love the color combinations, and have always loved oranges, turquoise, and lime green together, as they speak nothing but JOY and light!! Your fabrics are just SO pretty together, and I’d love to create something happy for our home, since our youngest son is leaving for college in just two weeks. His school color is orange, so it’d be fun and special to make something bright and colorful, like an owl pillow!! Thank you!
I love blue and greens, but right now I’m working on a quilt that are sherbert colors – apricot, pinks, raspberry, yellow and I’m throwing in teal blue and lime green. I hope it works. It would be nice to make a quilt with matching fabrics for once. Hope I win, but I’ll continue to enjoy your blog regardless. :)
My favorite color combo right now is teal, green and orange.
We are about to move into our dream house and it sits on a pond, so I’m loving blues and greens, with mixes of yellow sunshine and pink flowers.
What an amazing prize! Good luck to everyone!
Lovely blocks and a great giveaway thanks. I find favourites so hard as I have so many. At the moment I am enjoying fresh pastel shades…
Hugz
Oh no, a lost binder?!? Don’t worry, it will turn up when you least expect it, in a most surprising place – well that always happens to me, so I’m sending good vibes to you. I love all colours, but I have to be careful not to use too many blues. Of course white works really well with blue.
Green and blue, with a hint of cream. Dreamy… :)
I am so sorry you lost your binder! Maybe a fairy took it and in a few more months you’ll find it!
Your blocks were SO GORGEOUS!
But the next ones will be even prettier :) I bet!
About color combinations, I really love bright happy colors like bright blue and bright red!
Losing your binder of blocks is distressing, but sometimes what we lose comes back to us. I hope you will eventually have that good fortune! My current favorite combination is red, white, and blue.
I’m in love with soft yellows and greens with grey – your bundle would be just wonderful to have!
My current default seems to be red and aqua, sometimes with navy thrown in. In fact, navy and anything is usually a winner with me.
Ouch. That sucks, I hate it when that happens. So sorry.
Good luck with your remaking!
I’m still really digging coral and aqua right now. Am I so last year?
I hope it’ll turn up, maybe with the kids’ scchool binders? You can’t just lose something like that! I love the background on your blocks April! I never have a favorite color as I like them all equally, but blue and white, and yellow /lime/orange always make my heart sing :)
I just love the blue and greens of the ocean. The colors that remind you of a tropical vacation! Or summer and swimming! I do love your fabrics! I am confident that binder will turn up!!?
Oh no!! My worst nightmare is losing the blocks it took so long to make! There’s hope you will still find them though, sending positive vibes :) I am loving teals, apricots, raspberry and lime greens at the moment, they feel so summery!
My favorite colors right now are restful shades of blue, gray, tan, and green with black and white accents. They feel peaceful and relaxing like a day at the beach,, to me.
I love aqua/turquoise. Combine that with red, and it’s to die for! Thank you for the opportunity
to win your giveaway!
My palette currently is jolly happy and bright Turquoises, Teal, mid-Pinks, with additions of Lime, Sunshine Yellows and Blues.
I know that feeling of loss April. I lost the very first quilt I was making , a colorwash heart, for nearly 2 years :( carefully stashed away but not with my other sewing. Your binder will turn up when you’re least expecting it to… hopefully soon! All ahead steam with your blocks April, what a splendid journey we are embarked upon!!! Have Fun :)
I’m still enjoying the aqua and red combo, but I’m usually behind the trends.
Love reds and greens, both in there.
My favorite color combination is aqua and green. I also like the citrus colors together.
I hope you find your missing blocks!
Right now I like anything with bright primary colors.
Right now I am loving teal, pink, gray and white. I am patiently waiting to find out the gender of my baby to see if I can use those color options in a quilt! :) Good luck, and such a bummer you lost your blocks!
My favorite colors are a rainbow palette. The color wheel has always given me a sense of calm. I sure hope you find your blocks!
Orange peach rust and limegreen
Turquoise, coral, and gold most recently
My current color obsession is aqua/turquiose.
sew sad about your blocks, but a good outlook for starting again. i love rainbow, or “wayyyy too much color lolol
I love aquas/teals and corals. I think they would make a good combination with the right color of gray. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love ‘beachy’ colors: Aqua, turquoise, sand with pops of coral and orange. Thanks for this giveaway opportunity! Those fabrics are darling!
Teal, coral, yellow- love that lovely stack of fabrics!
Well, I tend to go towards anything in the brights family. But I’ve been loving the pictures with the warm colors or the cools. Of course I’ve always loved the aquas and teals with corals and pinks with them. I love that stack of yours. And OH how I know the feeling of losing blocks (and other craft items I’ve started) and had to restart or remake. I so hate that when I do that. But I always like the finished project better (and always find what I was looking for about the time I finish the blocks to the point where I was when I started to look for them)!
I really love the colors of Bonnie and Camille! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love aqua or teal with just about anything – corals, reds, pinks, greens, blues, yellows. I just love color!
I like blues, purples, greens, yellows and reds. Oh, and oranges. :)
My current color combo love is chartreuse, teal and butter yellow. Just a happy mix.
My favorite color combo right now is navy/greens. Thanks for a chance to win the fat quarter bundle.
I do like teal & salmon although it doesn’t go with anything except my guest bath!
I’m working with yellow, black and grey.
My splendid sampler blocks will be scrappy, using fabrics from my stash. My favorite color at this time is lime green!
my favorite color is robins egg blue. (Actually anything shade of blue!) Hope you find your blocks!
Royal blue and sunshine yellow with magenta accents.
It is so hard to choose. I love teals, turquoise, any shade of blue, green, or blue-green. I also love brown and greens together, any earth tones, but jewel tones are right up there at the top of the list too.
I am sorry about your loss blocks. I love blue and orange.
Navy and dark orange. I’m also sad you lost your blocks. Hopefully they will be a happy find later on.
RIght now I’m dreaming of a picnic blanket in soft pink, blue & green. I bought some panels off a clearance table and can’t wait to see it finished.
My all time favorite color is bright green, a combo for me is navy, Br. Green, aqua & red. Not in the sampler blocks that much… It’s lacking me working on them… I’ve had a time finding my mojo and color pattern with them… It has been a sad year for me… (Empty nesting) and it has hit an all time high!! ??
Thank you for your participation in the Splindid Sampler… I will pray your book is returned to you from where ever it is!! That makes me feel sad… But I will root for you, and probably work right along side you too!! Haaa haaa!! ? Love your blog sight!! Happy sewing… Blessings
My favorite color combo at present is an almost turquoise (not sure of the color name) and violet. Beautiful combination… ;-)
Turquoise and orange
Reds and teals.
I hope it’s not too late to enter! I love purple and green or aqua.
During the summertime I’m always drawn to blue/yellow or green/yellow. I think that’s why I’m loving Summerfest right now (and love it’s name :).
My colors I’m drawn to are my teals but I really love purples. But Fall is right around the corner and then I am in my comfort colors. rust, golds…I’m ready
I’m loving the denim collection from AGF. So surprise, surprise it’s blue, blue, and more blue. I’m blue about you losing your squares.
I’m loving neutrals and low-volume colorways right now.
HI
My favorite colours are purple, pink, turquoise, and bright green. So your Sommerfest colours are just what I love. Love to win!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who loses blocks…the story of my life!
Right now my favorite color combination is purple and orange – so bright and happy!
Love the reds in combinations with yellows and aqua. I hope your blocks turn up.
Would love to win these fabrics. I’ve been printing all of the patterns out, but haven’t decided what fabric to you. Such procrastination! Thank you for thinking of us!
My current phase of fabric love is corals, aquas, cherry reds with touches of apple green and navy blue. sigh. I hope you find your blocks. Thanks for the chance to win that gorgeous collection!
So sorry about your blocks. That’s one of the main reasons I don’t do a lot of QALs. I’m always afraid of losing a block or the most important instructions or something. Right now my colors are teal and navy. Love that combination. Thanks.
I’ve been pleasantly challenged to step outside my comfort zone and have started to use and adore teals, reds and oranges!
P.S. What a sad tale that you can’t find your completed squares. Hope they decide to emerge from their “safe storage place” soon.
I love navy, aqua and lime green!
I like teal, purple, and white!
I am loving aqua and orange right now.
Bright colors and white
I’m SO sorry you lost your blocks! I hope they come home soon!
Thank you for an opportunity to win that fabulous bundle! It’s Simply Splendid! (wink) That would inspire anyone to catch up!
My fave color combo right now is autumn colors….browns, reds, ambers, rusts, yellows and greens. ooh la la
I love aqua and lavender together. But I also love bright colors. All of them!
I love lime green and purples but anything that Mother Nature likes to combine is fine with me too
Hi April!

Purple and turquoise most of the time but I like brights with black, and earth colors, browns, deep reds greens and greyed blues. And then there are the pastels…. Sort of depends what day it is.
