ScrapHappy Saturday - The Dark Side

So sorry for zooming past the start of the month without an official color announcement. It is going to be dark. If you have enough darks to separate out the browns from the blacks, then it is black this month and brown next month. If not, then it is dark this month and light next month. Next month will also be the time to catch up on whatever you missed during the year. I am focusing this month on dark scraps. For the Hen & Chick blocks I chose black with multi color designs and then pulled in some accent colors to keep it interesting. I will be working this month to finish the borders on my hexies as well, those are lights and darks. The end of the year is when I start to think about what I need to finish off projects.

Next on the list will be stabilizing these NC State panels for a t-shirt quilt.  I had planned on starting last weekend, but we ended up in Virginia unexpectedly for the long weekend. Nothing like a last minute trip to throw absolutely everything off. It was such beautiful fall weather! I will pretend that it is fall in Florida as I stitch away as my dark fall shades. In reality, it is still hot and soupy here. With the holiday weekend and training sessions for work, I was only in the office for 2 days last week.  I am still trying to catch back up and get on track again!
