Working strictly with solids and print scraps, I made a bunch of four patches. 16 patches each with lime, lilac, teal and pink. Now what to do with them? 
I thought these folksy examples would give me ideas, but they are not clicking. Perhaps I need to commit to a background color. Neither the red or gold look right.
This color combo is better, but still not the thing I want.
I like the idea of doing a four patch quilt, but perhaps it truly isn't me..

Later, I tried some different backgrounds, and WOW! that's more like me! Sugar Pastels are it.

What a pretty post! I love all the color! The sugar pastels are perfect!
Agreed - I like the yellow back ground best but some of the squares need more punch. That blue background would look even better if it was periwinkle. Off to buy a computer today-I don't own a personal computer.
The three sugar pastels is you! I love it.
Love the sugar pastels--all three of them. These are similar to my three favorite dyes for fabric and shirts. What exactly are sugar pastels? A brand name?
Love what are doing, as usual, Melody!
I love those colors, and love what they're doin' for your patches. Lovely!
I agree those sugar pastels ARE more like you...bright, bold and beautiful! And 4-patches? Fun, fun units to play with. Can't wait to see what you end up doing with these.
Yep... that's it, you got it. Eager to see more!!
