When I go broke from buying them, I expect you to come visit me in the Poorhouse! I think red is a fun color. Depending on the scraps you have, you might just try adding in prints with more or less white to create the shading needed for the Folded Box block. Well, you're done with it now, so never mind! :-). xoCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765115495938525371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1682773750374998702.post-34859520007540108702017-03-18T17:31:31.210-05:002017-03-18T17:31:31.210-05:00It was interesting to see the comments here as I w...It was interesting to see the comments here as I was thinking would it work to combine red with another color?Deb @ Frugal Little Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091419343402163298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1682773750374998702.post-73327707114313291152017-03-18T17:16:24.263-05:002017-03-18T17:16:24.263-05:00I'm not that fond of RED, either.
