I’ve been working on a couple of entries for the Canadian Quilters Try-A-Triad Challenge. The only fabrics allowed are solid fabrics in the 3 primary colors – yellow, red and blue. I’m working with two different combinations of primary color fabrics. Below, on the left are the fabrics I started with, and on the right is another set – I much prefer this lighter shade of blue.
As I am working with these fabrics, I have realized that primary colors are not my favorites. I’m more drawn to tertiary colors. But I love a challenge, and I have some ideas, although nothing is finished yet.
But I got to the point where I just had to use some other colors! So I took a break from the primary colors, and made some improv wonky plus/cross blocks with ALL the colors. Most of the fabrics are from my scrap bins.
While I was working on these, I started getting lots of ideas about how to use the primary colors. So I’ll leave the rainbow blocks for now, and go back to the primary colors. I expect to complete at least one mini quilt this weekend.

I admire your initiative; I rarely work with solids of any colour, so I look forward to seeing what your results will be using this challenging combo!
I always love a wonky block and yours are no exception. I really like the gray backgrounds and the vivid colors.
