How to Get Started with Color BlockingRecently, a reader said she wasn't sure where to get started with color blocking, but liked the idea of it. This post is my answer. I suggest starting from scratch, for anyone not sure what kind of color blocking will work for you. Try a lighter color with a darker version of it, like my own favorites: light olive plus a medium olive. Then, maybe two different colors, but not far apart, like camel and coffee brown. If that works well, then, try that brown with the olive. If they all work, you can feel free to experiment a little more wildly. If not, stay with the level of contrast that seemed to work best. Have you experimented with color blocking? See you next time! Love, Jeanine

This topic brought back memories of a few drapery projects I designed. I did color blocking on draperies adding 3 shades of blue to one panel. Another one was beige and blue, just taking solid fabric strips, stitching together to make on colorful piece of fabric. Ok off topic of clothes but on topic of color blocking!
