The Sneak Peek has (FINALLY) been sent

If you have made and posted Sweet Dreams blocks this month, you should have email from me with the information for the October block.

I have already shared the fabric guidelines, but here they are again:

The BACKGROUND fabric is WHITE.  It can be solid or a white-on-white (WOW) print.

Add to this three more fabrics, described below, in any placement you choose.

GRAY – it may be solid, a tone-on-tone (TOT) print, a gray print which includes black and/or white, or a small scale, dense black and white print that reads as gray.

BROWN – it may be solid or a tone-on-tone (TOT) print, a brown print that includes black and/or white. Value-wise it can be anything from tan to dark chocolate.

GOLD/ORANGE – It may be a solid or a tone-on-tone (TOT) print or a print containing gold AND orange. It shouldn’t contain any other color.

You make multiple blocks, you can use the same WHITE BACKGROUND fabric in multiple blocks and can repeat any of the three fabrics as long as each block is unique–switch around the placement or fabrics to make sure you don’t have any “twin” blocks.

Coincidentally, I recently received a lovely gift from Charlene that happens to share this color-way.

The proportions of colors in this tea towel are different, but the colors are the same: gold, orange, gray, brown and white (even with some black and white that reads as gray from the other end of the Studio).
