For my final shawl using the Aran weight cotton I have chosen to use a range of pinks, a range of blues and all tied together with black, which is why I didn't want very dark blues in this shawl, as I doubt navy blue motifs would show up very well against the black.
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 left to the bottom right:
Light wash = 4 motifs, Candyfloss pink = 4 motifs, Light Ice Blue = 6 motifs
Medium pink = 12 motifs, Black = main, Rose = 11 motifs
Light Jeans = 6 motifs, Petrol = 8 motifs, Plum = 13 motifs
Where possible I tried to match a similar shade/tone of blue to that in the pink range.
It reminds me a little like stained glass windows.
So now that I have made this one, I have just very very small oddments leftover, not even enough of anything to make a flower and so my kids have had what is leftover so they can add stripes or something to whatever they knit.
