Blockheads Block 3 & Free Coloring Page

I understand your concern! As I mentioned in my post above, I decide what fabrics to use for each block as I am going–so it’s very unplanned. What I find to be very helpful, is to make sure and lay out all of the blocks together as I go along. So, maybe about 10 blocks in or so, I will lay everything out so I can see what fabrics I have been using. Sometimes I find I am too heavy in one color or I find that I need to add a little bit more darks or change my backgrounds. Then, when I begin working on the next few blocks I make those adjustments–leaving out colors I have over used or making sure to add in those darker backgrounds. I’ll then lay out all of the blocks again maybe in another 10 blocks or so and see what adjustments need to be made. This early in the game, just make sure each block is pleasing to your eye. As you go, especially if you are using fabrics from one designer they will start to meld together. When I look at my blocks right now, those yellows jump out at me but I know that within a larger quilt those yellows are going to blend right in.
