The Contest Continues...

The next few months of the competition were uneventful and I enjoyed learning more about putting colors together.  When I received a piece of the pattern, I would input it into my design program then experiment with the colors I had chosen to see how it would look in different combinations.  I would then send pictures of my choices to my daughters and husband and ask them to vote on which they liked the best.  I would stitch the one that had the majority of votes.

June's installment.  For this month, we were asked to design something to fit inside a square in the middle that Natalia outlined for us.  I decided to chart a sun/moon motif that was inspired by a Mexican Tile that I saw.  The colors of the tile were almost exactly the colors that I was using so it seemed to fit my project very well.

Since it was Summer, Natalia released both July and August's installments together.  This way we could work on our projects over the summer at our own pace.  The rug is really starting to take shape and I looked forward to seeing what came next.

September's Installment completed.  I experimented with using the more bright colors in the rug to complete this section and really liked the results.  It looked as if there wasn't much more to do before the rug was finished.
