For the Summer Sampler, I am going with a limited palette - a couple of greys, a subtly different green and yellow, a low volume grey on white print and a lightweight denim. Originally, I chose a rainbow fat quarter bundle to be backed with a long-hoarded Anna Maria Horner print, Summer Totem. However, while playing at my sewing table, I noticed how well an Art Gallery Fabric denim paired with the Summer Totem. Then I pulled in some nearby Kona pickle and added some grey to bring in a neutral. Over the next few days, I waffled between the rainbow bundle or this newly discovered palette. It was a total accident, but I could not get the denim idea out of my head. I had to try it. So far, I'm loving it. It feels subdued, but with a pop of cool color from the pickle and wasabi. The pops of denim add some nice texture and dimension.
