Hive 1 - August Tutorial - Changing Squares for Jennifer

 Hello!

Way back in February, I saw the block requested by Cathleen in Hive 4 and LOVED it! I was planning on requesting the exact same block, same colors and all. But as I was pulling fabrics at the quilt shop, I developed more of a deep, jewel-toned palette including colors like plum, garnet, deep blue, coral, and tangerine. So, I'm requesting that you follow Cathleen's tutorial, only with the following palette.

1940s design color guide I used as inspiration

Here is my fabric pull

For medium and light tones, I think cream or light shades of blue, pink, yellow, tan or green will look lovely.

I would prefer all solids, and to avoid black, white, and bright red. However, I know some people don't keep a lot of solids, so tone-on-tone fabrics that read as solids will work as well. If you don't have anything along these lines, just pick whatever you think is best. A few pops of pattern scattered throughout might end up looking super awesome!

The yellow in this block is a tone-on-tone

I've made a couple of blocks, and laid out a few more, and can't wait to play around with all of the lovely blocks I'll be receiving! Thank you in advance!!
