This has happened to me before. Last time I was carrying around a piece of paper with paint chips taped on it. I was contemplating painting my walls with the chip colors. I threw it on the counter one day when I was digging through my purse looking for something else. The chips landed near a kitchen pot holder. Low and behold all of the seven colors of the paint chips were in that pot holder! I guess I really liked those colors then.
Now, it looks like my personal palette are these colors.
The first photo (below) is of a table runner I made from my
Forget Me Not quilt pattern. I chose the fabrics from a local quilt shop (The Noble Quilter in Elk River, MN). She featured the pattern and runner in her shop for over a year. I recently received it back. When I opened the box I put the runner on the dining room table and . . . Viola - It matched the french table cloth I had purchased (because I loved it so much), almost perfectly! I was stunned, even the odd blue/green color was in both pieces.
Do you know what your personal color palette is? Now that you are aware that you probably do have one, what is it? See you you can figure it out . . . we'd all love to know. Personally I am wondering when mine changed, my last one had no blue or orange. Instead, greens, red, and neutrals. Hmmmm. Interesting, perhaps a color psychologist would know . . . is there such a person?
PS. The
Forget Me Not quilt pattern is available from your local quilt or fabric shop. If you can't find it there you can order it online in both a
printed-mail it or
downloadable format.
