Remember those amazing inspiration images I posted here when this round of the ORC began? If not, I’ll refresh your memory.


One of the many things those two images have in common is the use of neutrals with touches of black. In going through my fabric stash to come up with a combination of pillow fabrics to use, I’ve come to a standstill. I really love the mix of neutrals, but I also love when color is used in a monochromatic way where there are many variations of the same color.


So, that leaves me with these two color schemes to choose from:
Option A is pretty much perfect, though I probably wouldn’t use 2 Ikat fabrics. Option B needs a lot more green because that’s the color I’d like to focus on most, but I wanted to at least get a feel for what I can expect. I probably won’t end up using this many prints together for whichever option I choose, but I am certainly in love with both. I would, also, add some solids and embellishments to the both options. I have considered using one for the Spring/Summer months and the other for the Fall/Winter months, but I don’t know if that will work for me. Which would you choose?
In other news, aside from digging through my fabric stash, I’m also digging through my paint stash to find something to use on an impromptu project. As though I don’t already have enough projects planned for the short 3 weeks left of the challenge, I’m the crazy person who’s adding more…. I’m finally starting to feel the pressure!
