Ok, I am a-dithering no more. This is my color scheme for Mocha Trails. I already have a bunch of dark browns and creams set aside for this quilt top. The change up is that I have decided to replace the caramels with aqua. I like what I see.
The browns and creams are completely random and scrappy. The aquas are from Pure by Sweetwater for Moda.
I may keep in some of the caramels, but that remains to be seen. I sort of want it all to say Brown.Caramel.Cream. Aqua. Go check out Thelma today to see what her red and brown version will look like!
Super busy week for me, so hopefully, I can address this more completely in my next post.
Love y'all.

The aqua is a beautiful choice. The test block looks very rich with that color scheme!
Ah, that is going to be so pretty! Your first block is stunning!!
I like it! I’ll be following your progress on this one.
I like it! I like the red version too but this one speaks to me!
Oh Great choice. I love it. I was hoping that you would use that blue but didnt have time to post yesterday. That is going to be great.
Very pretty. I think you’ll love it!
aa-aa-ah, what a great color addition. You really brought this one home Nicole. Dither no more.
Bam! Color makes all the difference. Loved the carmel but the added color is just fabulous!
Love the blues! This quilt will be glorious!
As with all quilt patterns, colorful or monochromatic fabrics, matchy blocks or scrappy, each version makes an utterly wonderful quilt!
I will say I once made a star block using a fabric with a swoopy, swirly design and it made wobbly sea sick looking star points. That block is in my live-and-learn drawer! 😀
Hugs!
Very, very pretty! If it makes you happy then it’s the right choice. 🙂
Love the block and the color choices.
I LOVE this version, Nicole! I have the Pure line as well and am thinking of changing what I was going to do for something more like yours! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!!
Cheers!
Blue and brown is one of my favorite color schemes. I like this.
Oh, do I like that square. Just love the colors!
So far….I love it! (Thelma’s is looking pretty awesome too!)
Excellent choice. I think adding that hint of color helps bring out the complexity of the piecing in the blocks. I like it very much. Have fun getting that one together!
I like it. It reminds me of one in Coffee Time Quilts. I think it was named Iced Latte.
Great choice, Nicole, the aqua is perfect.

Oh my, this block is beautiful! Love the color combination. It will be just lovely when completed. Are you going to keep the alternate blocks with all caramel?
The blue is a perfect touch. Love it!
I have to say I had a hard time envisioning what this quilt would look like with the aquas (and Thelmas’ reds), but it looks sensational! (So does Thelma’s).
Love it!
I love the aqua!
This is going to be seriously beautiful!!!
I think the Aqua is just the WOW factor that you needed – can’t wait to see the completed quilt!
Yum…I’m loving this!!
