Fabric Samples to explore colour

To explore colour further I used an idea suggested in one of my library books on embroidery whereby three fabrics are selected and the smaller is cut into strips and sewn across the middle fabric which is slightly bigger before THIS is then cut into strips across the opposite direction and, as can be seen below, laid out onto the 3rd final piece of fabric.
I did take about 15 photo's of combinations of varying colours for the background but happily for you have decided not to bore you WITH the pics as its a bit like holiday snaps, okay to see the first 24 but then it gets a bit tedious.

I imagine this is what we've got to endure after no.2.brother arrives home mid April after his 8week trip abroad travelling - last email contact from him somewhere in NZ enthusiastically informed us all that he can about 6.5 thousand photos. (or it might have 650. either way it was beginning to sound a bit, well, tedious ..)

Above you can see one combination, below you can see the final pieces.
