I've picked a PIG to work on next - and it's one that I had kitted up myself a year ago at least. Oh My Stars is a free Pat Sloan pattern. The pattern uses 2 charm packs plus some yardage, and is a quick easy project. I have a good start on this Project in a Grocery sack, but now am having some second thoughts on color.
I had bought the 2 charm packs of Snowman Gatherings III, most likely on a past guild bus trip shop hop. They are all creams and dusty blues. They layed in a drawer with other charm packs for quite a while - until I saw the Oh My Stars pattern online. I found a navy blue solid in my stash, and must have bought the cream yardage later. All of that plus the pattern were in a bag together ready to go.
Not a lot of time was needed to sew the star points onto some of the charm squares. And last evening I spread everything out on the floor to play with the arrangement. That is when I started to ask myself why I chose navy blue to make the stars because they just sort of fade into the blocks in places. So . . . I may do some experimenting. How about red stars? What other color would look good with the blue and cream but still keep that winter theme going?

Before I finished reading my thought was add in some red stars!! That'll make it really pop.
Oh I have that pattern from Pat Sloan too..it is on my "To Do" list...
I would use a dark maroon print maybe...[I find it hard to visualize unless I see the fabrics right in front of me...]. It looks like a fun pattern...~ ~ ~ waving in the cold wind Julierose
Red stars would look nice with the blue, but it would be more patriotic than winter-like. What about a cream with a gold or silver Design.
I love the idea of gold - thanks for suggesting that. There is a touch of gold in some of the cream fabrics so that might be the perfect solution. Thanks Nancy!!
