WIP Wednesday: A New Project

All month I've worked on UFOs, BOMs, and samples.  I decided to reward myself today by starting something new!

And what would that "something new" be?  Jamie's "Brick Road Sew Along."


I have a lovely stack of Free Spirit solids that I bought from Amy Burg Gibson.  She is using them for her Sugar Block Club; however, I am using Bonnie and Camille's Vintage Modern for my blocks.  Soooo, here are my colors for the Brick Road:


Using my color wheel, I started selecting complementary colors.


The true complement to bright orange is bright blue, but it looks too much like Boise State University Broncos.  So the first block I chose was purple and orange:

Next:


Then:


When I edited the Summer School catalog at Pacific Lutheran University, these were the first colors I chose for the catalog cover:


The next year, I chose:


I have 45 bricks to choose, so this is going to take some time.

How is your April UFO coming along?  I confess, I haven't even worked on mine this month.  Only two weeks to go!
