I'm thinking Purple Passion should be the name of this afghan. What do you think? It's many shades of purple, violets with some green and brown. Might edge and join in off white? As always it depends on my stash assortment of color when the time comes.I still have plenty of designs to share with you. Remember, back a few posts I've mentioned a major design fest here in my living room. You should be seeing lots of your squares folks here, and in previous posts, as well as in upcoming posts.

**You're probably understanding why I've not called for squares, given the number I have, and hopefully also understanding why I need to simplify things with the new requirements of only accepting squares, not rectangles and only at certain times, and only 1 size (8 x 8).**

White would be a good color to use. However, I kinda wonder what a lavender would do? Would it work with the greens and the browns?
ReplyDeleteHum...lavendar, maybe? Might have to look and see how it goes together given the shades. I try to never use white due to the dirt factor. Often trying to do laundry is a real issue for these folks so I try to stick to colors that won't show the dirt as much. White I think would be far to contrasting with these darker colors.
ReplyDeleteI'm catching up and had a look at some of the afghans you laid out. You've got your work cut out for you for some time to come. I always love to see what you come up with. This one has a lot of dark colors so perhaps something to lighten it up a bit in the joining. Would the lavender do for male or female? I was thinking maybe a light tan. I know whatever choice you make it will be lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandie for the visits and ideas, always appreciated. I think you're right lavender would limit it only being appropriate for a female. Tan would work nicely, and I was thinking if I had a lot of dark brown, I do love things joined in dark colors, but currently that's not in my stash.
