I had never thought to do that before, but it looks like it should save a lot of time. I have to admit to being a little biased, but I would definitely encourage you to explore your idea of switching the brown for burgundy or plum. I think either would be stunning with the colours you already have pulled. Good luck with your mystery quilt. I'll keep an eye out for updates, but feel free to pop over to Clever Chameleon and let us know how its going. :)Dione Gardner-Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491108842081708676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481577725397935350.post-38508505788852619992017-11-07T02:43:53.645-05:002017-11-07T02:43:53.645-05:00Beautiful photo from Clever Chameleon and the colo...Beautiful photo from Clever Chameleon and the colours picked out are delicious - personally I love the idea of your substitution of plum/burgundy for the brown, I think the combination would be stunning.Mystic Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233427034920359604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481577725397935350.post-62070157675935669582017-11-06T14:11:12.430-05:002017-11-06T14:11:12.430-05:00That is a gorgeous photo from Clever Chameleon.
Yo...That is a gorgeous photo from Clever Chameleon.<br />Your reddish orange looks like a good match with the paint chip.<br />I have never tried this method of trimming up the units. Lets hope I can remember I pinned it when I have a need to trim such units again. :)Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481577725397935350.post-79672422779011493532017-11-06T09:33:51.797-05:002017-11-06T09:33:51.797-05:00So many times people will think a brown is a burgu...So many times people will think a brown is a burgundy or the other way around so they are definitely interchangeable.
