Scrappy Saturday - Browns No. 2

The first project this week was to sew together a box full of 1.25" strips.

Warm browns, a bit of gray, a bit of black,

and a few flashes of other colors . . .

Pressed and trimmed, the 48+ strips yielded 

a 36" x 38" almost-WOF-yard of made-fabric.

Note:  The colors are more true in the photos below.

From the made-fabric strata, 

I cut the 8 wedges for my project named Umbrellas Unfurled.

In theory, I knew the plan should work.

I was very relieved when it did!

However, I couldn't resist testing the brown wedges 

with some of the other colors from earlier in the year . . .

So far, so good!

For the ongoing Arrowheads project, 

I pulled these browns from the stash

and used my die cutter to make the 3-each 

from 9 fabrics equilateral triangles.

These are the finished 9-part giant triangles laying on the cutting table.

Again, I tested with two of the earlier RSC14 colors . . .

After these tests,

I'm feeling a little more comfortable about "brown"

being this month's chosen color.
