Marie knows Roy!

Marie knows Roy and I suspect others of you know too!

Roy G Biv is an easy way to remember the color wheel. Look at a rainbow and you will also see the color wheel. Have you noticed the colors are always in the same position?

R=Red
O=Orange
Y= Yellow

G=Green

B=Blue
I=Indigo
V=Violet

When I laid out the strips for my Picket Fence quilt, I arranged them as much as possible in Roy G Biv order and tried to choose strips from most colors to include in each diamond. This kept me from having too much of one color in the blocks. I would surely have focused in on red if I hadn't done that.

I make a lot of decisions based on color. How many of you cook by color? I usually decide which vegetable to make based on what color the main dish is. Confession - I even eat M&Ms in order of the color wheel. Did you know they don't put equal amounts of each color of M&Ms in the package?!?

Well, I'm sure you are seriously wondering about me by now so I'm not going to tell you how I make M&M cookies! Anyone else maybe just a little under the influence of color?

What about Roy?

Please don't tell me you all know about Roy G Biv! I thought for sure at least one person would ask who he is.

I plan to sew or embroider or both today so I'll post again later with progress.

If you like owls, here's a good time waster Molly and her family. Here are two astounding questions from the chat, "How does the egg hatch if Molly is sitting on it?" and "Does Molly breastfeed?"

I know this is supposed to be a quilting blog so I guess I better get back to it! Later.

Roy G Biv & motivation

Saturday - snow, ice and cold. The picture is what my dining room looked like on Saturday. Those are my strips all laid out and ready to sew together for the medium value diamonds. ROY G BIV, whoops, no indigo. Why I sew in my dining room is a subject for another post, maybe soon. There were no meals at the table on Saturday!

Monday - sunny and a high of 61. I am having a very hard time motivating myself to sew when the weather is so nice. Anybody else having the same problem? BTW, still no meal at the dining room table even though it is cleaned off. My husband took me out for dinner tonight!
