Colour Inspiration Tuesday: The next Colour in the 2018 Monthly Color Challenge is Green!

It’s that time again…. the Colour Inspiration Tuesday featuring our next colour of the month. So, here it is:  May is Green! The colour of the month here at Clever Chameleon is defined as our monthly focus colour for Jen Shaffer’s Monthly Color Challenge and blog hop. So, next week we are moving on from orange to a very popular colour, green. In the meantime you have a week left to get your orange creations done for April and linked up at Patterns by Jen to be in the running for a Fat Eighth pack of Pumpkin Patch fabrics from Island Batik. 2018 Monthly Color Challenge

May is Green. The colour of growth and prosperity and frogs. I hope the month of May brings you much as luck and peace as its colour promises.

But, in my defence, I also know a technique that makes good use of those small fabric scraps. So that’s my excuse, and I’m sticking to it. 🙂 And what’s more, I’m always happy to share my quilty-stuff hoarding excuses with you…..
