The Challenge – My Favorite Color
We all have favorite colors. The one we like to wear might be different than the one we like to decorate with. And that might be different than the one we buy for our fabric stash. This week we are going to work with only one of your favorites.

Challenge Clarifications
There have been a couple of questions/clarifications I would like to respond to all in one spot for everyone. If you have more just let me know and I’ll contact Diane and see what she says.
Yes, shades of white are acceptable and in Diane’s mind a cream is a white.
NEW THIS SEASON! Linky Party!
Add blog posts or flickr photo’s of your thought process/works in progress etc throughout the week to the linky party below! Then we can all easily follow along with you!
Doing a happy dance! Love this challenge. Can't wait to get started!
This may sound like a silly question, but when using a print fabric can it have another color in it or just shades of your chosen color?
from Diane, our challenge giver:
"Other colors in it are fine as long as the fabric "reads" your chosen color."
Can it not contain white?? Only shades of one color?

It can contain white AND one other color.

Another question….can it have shades of white in it as well….e.g. whites to creams?
yes – it can have 'shades' of white
It CAN just be shades of the one color. It does not HAVE to contain white.
So glad you're inspired! Have fun!

I'm still using green but found something to go with the chartreuse green that I love. I'm doing the happy dance now. I love all greens but the other ones just didn't do it for what I had hoped to make.

Thanks for another fun project!
[…] The Project QUILTING Challenge ‘My Favorite Color‘ was a difficult one for me. I’m not really a ‘white’ person…it makes me nervous. I don’t want to get it dirty and ruin the whole thing (although I do realize you could technically stain ANY fabric on a quilt…but white just makes me extra nervous I guess). So not into it in fact that I challenged my mother-in-law, Diane, aka, the challenge giver to do this challenge as well…she obviously didn’t have a problem with it…see her quilt HERE. […]
