These are the fabrics I've pulled from my crazy quilt stash for January's Take It Further Challenge. The first group is for the concept challenge. As mentioned in previous posts, my husband is the person I admire. His colors are green and brown. His current style is very Indiana Jones, complete with replica hat and leather jacket. I've added the red to honor his passionate side. I'm happy with the rich masculine feel of this palette. I will try to maintain that throughout the project.
With the second group, I've tried to match the color scheme Sharon gave us. Some fabrics match better than others. I didn't find much in the lighter color to the right. I'm hoping to find embellishments and fibers that will add more of that last color. The colors are much prettier in fabric than in blocks on the monitor. The possibilities are a comfort doll, crazy quilt block, or a small evening bag. We'll see what the fabric tells me when I start sewing.

I love both palettes. You are really stretching yourself in both directions! I look forward to seeing what develops from these. Your DH sounds interesting. =)
Wow - I love your fabric stash. I'm also looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
Wow, that is more than all the fabric I actually have. I better not let my husband see this, he thinks its weird enough that I buy scraps of material already. Serioulsy, you palettes look gorgeous and I look forward to seeing the results.
What gorgeous arrays you have here in fabric! I will enjoy watching what you do with them...and thanks so much for the Make My Day award!
You are too kind... ;-)
