March Color Announcment

The color for March will be yellow.  Yellow is one of those colors that can be a bit overwhelming in very large quantities.  As an accent though, it adds brightness and contrast that can be really lovely.  Try to work in the entire range of yellows.  Remember that you can go from delicate and buttery yellow all the way to deep golds.  Notice how the hand dyed fabrics from Vicki Welsh cover an fabulous array of shades?  If you would like to win this fabric collection, simply leave a comment on this post with the one thing you are most looking forward to about spring.   Mine is spring break.

    I'm praying that our five plus feet of snow will melt and the pugs and I will see our yard again. And perhaps my flowers will come up!

    Well Spring is long gone over here, and today is officially the beginning of Autumn. I am looking forward to cooler days and less humidity. Will that do? LOL Oh. And working with yellow of course.

    That sounds great to me! I don't have much yellow, so I should get through it quickly and get to some of my other projects I have been neglecting!

    What a fun, bright color for March.
    As for Spring... up here in Wisconsin, we don't get a tease of spring (most years) until end-ish April (if we're lucky). No Spring Break for our school, other than Fri/Mon at Easter. When's yours scheduled?

    What a nice blog! I found you from a link from Lynne of 2hot2knit.blogspot.com ! I will join in the quilting fun! The part of Spring I am looking forward to is gardening and sitting in the sun knitting!

    After being below zero quite a lot of the month, I am looking forward to temps in the 50's! I can tell you what I'm NOT looking forward to--mud season! When all this snow melts!

    Beautiful fabric pack from Vicki, and a lovely way to illustrate the shades of yellow.

    I agree with you about looking forward to Spring Break! All of March is testing and paperwork for me--yucky. Having Spring Break to look forward to will help get me through.

    I don't have a lot of yellows, so there will be a huge variety of hues played with this month. I look forward to seeing some green - grass, leaf buds, fresh growth on the pines, a sprout on the grape vine, bulbs putting up new growth - White AND Cold are getting old!

    I used some yellow yesterday... center of some pink and green 9 patches.
    I'm excited to see the bloomin' trees. Some have started here in Vancouver WA already. I've got a couple of daffodils and 1 count 'em, 1 grape hyacinth out in the grass. It's a surprise this year - what flowers and where - we just moved here.
    Thanks for choosing a bright and warm color - it's still cold here.

    In my senior days, yellow makes me happy. It never used to be a color for me in the early days. Anyway, I most look forward to the snow melting away, the trees filling in with color, and the smell of cut grass!

    Yellow is so bright and cheery. This will be fun and I'm looking forward to the blocks you've chosen for the middle of the stars. Winter is so cold and snowy here I'm really looking to some warmer days with crocus peeking up through the snow and tulips with their wonderful colors. Of course I love daffodils with with all their shades of white through yellow to orangy yellow.

    I am trying to add yellow and green into my quilts. Most of my quilts have been blues, purples and neutrals. I am looking forward to weather back in the 70's. It has been a little yucky here in Texas the last few days.

    I love yellow!! I look forward to earlier sunrises and later sunsets (though next week's change from standard to daylight saving time is WAY too soon). I will also have a couple of projects (non-quilting as well as quilting) finished. Oh, yes -- March is also Girl Scout Cookie time!

    We worked out in the yard when the temperature was up beyond 65° two weeks ago. Then the temps dropped and now its snowing. So I would say I am looking forward to enjoying the yard again.

    My kitchen is yellow because I love to walk into a bright room in the morning. I feel it brightens my whole day. What I am looking forward is the new flowers. I have a patch, at the end of my backyard, that belongs to nature to play in it as it desires. I have all kind of "stuff" growing in there. It's fun. Thanks for the chance.
