My 2 Most Favorite Color Combinations! - Part 1

I love color and need to be surrounded by it.  As I was waking up today I thought to myself that I would share my 2 Most Favorite Color Combinations with yall!  None of the pictures are mine, I found them on the internet.

Maybe this will give you some inspiration to dig out the pinks & greens in your scrap bin or stash and create some really awesome blocks!

HOT PINK & LIME GREEN:
Though some of the colors below are neither but are close.



























SO WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE COLOR COMBINATIONS?  I WOULD LOVE TO READ THEM.

Look what my 2 August Fat Quarter Friend Swap Partners sent me!



For August I decided to swap with 2 people.  More fabric is "Funner" right?!  I think so.  I would never use the word FUNNER but am in a silly mood right now so, what the hay!  That should be HEY, but what the Hey, I put HAY!

I got some really great goodies!

My 1st FQ friend send me some very colorful & vibrant fabrics that I totally love!  I especially love the floral ones.  PLUS, she send me a thick & heavy quilting book!  I wasn't expecting that but was pleasantly surprised.  There's all kinds of patterns and pictures of quilts inside.




My 2nd FQ Friend also sent me some nice goodies!  She handmade me a small pincushion (the square on the upper right).  The pincushion has hand quilting around the edges, I forgot to take a picture of the other side as it has a different fabric.  The very middle has a red button sewn on.  The upper left is a heart applique that she cut from a vintage quilt.  Bottom right are some flag type post-its which are always handy.  Bottom left is some brown variant embroidery floss on what looks to be a handmade bobbin.  I'm starting to get into hand embroidery so this will come in handy too.  She gave me 4 very neat and vintage/retro looking Fat Quarters.
