Welcome to Day 13 of the 31 Day Blog Challenge!  Today I'm revealing Ticker Tape Parade Clue #6 and providing Color Lesson #4 - Picking the  perfect Border! Unfortunately, I missed Day 11 and 12 of the 31 Day Blog Challenge, due to a crazy schedule, but I'm jumping right back in.     Before we get into Ticker Tape Parade and Color Lesson #4, I want to give a recap for those only joining us just on Fridays.... If you are one of them, you may want to start checking in daily (or subscribe to the blog), as more details will be released in the upcoming weeks.  Recap on Grand Central Mystery Quilt Series Last Sunday , I released a few more details on Grand Central Quilt, including the Border requirements.   Additionally, on Sunday I gave the first of three Color Lessons,  explaining how to find the colors in your fabric and how to determine if the Border has a Split Complementary color plan.   Which is required for Grand Central's Border ...

However, instead of going directly to your  3-in-1 Color Tool .  You can use a free online tool from Color.Adobe  which will help you pull ideal color plans from your fabric. Note: I find that I still like to use the  3-in-1 Color Tool  to match to their selection, as that makes it easier for me to select fabric later.  More on that at the end of this post.  Let me take you step-by-step on how this works.
