it's actually kona royal, not cobalt...hmm finnish fairies or irish leprecauns in my computer? don't think so this time, checked original order and it WAS for royal. the flash has lightened it a bit, but it is perfect for this project. with only a week or so to go, should be able to finish the last 100 and get the blue washed and ready for cutting melons and other background pieces. *** arrived home from rehab to again find my apartment enveloped in smelly perfume odor. one of my neighbors, a quite elderly woman, buys the cheap stuff by the gallon and takes a bath in it every day i do believe....she may be trying to mask unpleasant body odors, not sure. and she isn't the only one, unfortunately for someone like me who is sensitive to many overpowering scents. it's like those overpowering magazine samples only 3 rooms' worth. *** it's the weekend and if i can breathe, it's some house chores and more sewing of course....bring it on!
The blue is striking and this will be a beautiful quilt! Sorry that the odors are bothering you. Can you open the windows for a few minutes?
ReplyDeletewindows open and fans on 24/7...still doesn't cover it...
DeleteVery pretty fabrics. Strong perfumes also bother my nose. It was funny, at my doctor's office, they actually have a sign that asks to please refrain from wearing perfumes as it irritates some other people in the waiting room.

ReplyDeleteOh, that blue plays so well with your pieced arcs! Very pretty combo!
No one in my family tolerates odors well, either. We have been a fragrance free zone for decades, other than an occasional essential oil. That would be very hard to have no control over the odors coming into your dwelling!
The royal blue is indeed perfect!
