As an exploration when teaching, we often hand students two fabrics that don’t “go together” with the assignment that they need to add as many fabrics as necessary to tie them together. Students are often dismayed at the original pairings but are always astonished at how adding others to the mix can transform a yucky combination into something really unexpected and wonderful. The goal is to get them to look beyond predictable color combinations.

So I was delighted to see that Pat Sloan at started a color challenge. Her structure is different from ours but sounds like fun and is sure to encourage quilters to broaden the color horizons.
