Design A447 - Blues and White

Another of these shawls made to an updated vintage pattern and this time I have chosen blue and white.  All of the darkest blues will go into this shawl along with a mix of medium and light blue as I have already planned my next shawl as well so I know what colours I need.

In terms of how many motifs of each colour I was able to make from the leftovers and how many I made from the slightly larger amounts are as follows, in order from top right to the bottom left: 

Spray Blue = 11 motifsLight wash = 5 motifsLight jeans = 3 motifs

                                     Jeans blue = 8 motifs, Navy blue = 4 motifs

White =  mainLight Ice Blue = 7 motifsLight Blue = 10 motifs 

Petrol = 4 motifsNavy = 12 motifs                                               


I have reverted back to having a central strip with mirrored layout on either side as I think it works better than totally random and then having to try and make sure the colours don't pool too much in one place.


I like this one, a lot, but then I do like blue, not that you can tell with the blue rug in the lounge and the fences outside are all painted blue...
