Adapting the Christmas Crackle Placement project I want to have 4 different colours for each block. However, I'm not clear about the colours for the incidentals. I assume that if block A is blue then the incidental is blue . However, if doing alternate blocks - say B red and D yellow - there will be 2 incidentals , one thread will be red and one thread yellow. Is my thinking right
I think to add in more colour like you are suggesting, you need to make rules for yourself. Decide which of your colours is going to be the incidental colour between alternating blocks, and be consistent about your decision. It may change from placemat to placemat, depending on which block you place your colours. But be consistent within each placemat and you should be good. Your gut will guide you! And I'd love to see the finished placemats with more colour poured into them when you're done.
