Indigo

After wondering and googling about what color indigo actually is, I am probably now more confused than ever.

Crayola has it as a purplish blue:

 Kona Cotton has it as  darker than navy blue:


                                       

This is an Indigo bush:


 And how about Indigo by Lancome:

                                    

 And I now know there is a Texas Indigo Snake. Look at that beautiful blue pattern:
 


So I decided *MY* indigo challenge project would be mostly dark blue, some purples and some purplish blues - dark and light. (The green is the cutting mat) And I think they all look great together.  And since we don't allow quilt police in this challenge, I am very happy to go with it. These would be one side of a tote.



The plan is to complete this project during our 4 day retreat. Yes, 4 day retreat! Can't wait.

You're so smart to go with a small project for the Monochromatic Challenge. Have fun on your retreat! I usually would be going on one next week-end. But I feel I can't be gone every Father's Day. The family sort of frowns on me not making Sunday Dinner.

Yes, I guess indigo can wear many faces. But it is beautiful in everyone. Your project will look wonderful. Enjoy your retreat!!
