I have been undecided whether to share this. There is always the concern that if we post a need for a certain color, that is all we will receive. Since it has been asked several times recently, I will write about it. We really do use white and black squares. While we would never make a solid white blanket, we do use whites to offset some of the crazy, should never work together, squares. Many times, black helps calm super bright blankets while making other colors pop.
White, black, and gray are the least donated colors, but often times the most needed. I am not saying only send us these colors. Please keep the solids, stripes, and fun squares coming. We love them and need them. But, if you run across a great deal on whites, black, or gray, don’t hesitate, we do use them all.
Thank you all for your continued support. The show of interest and love from everyone has been wonderful. Remember, keep the squares coming and spread the word. We will conquer the EVERY STATE CHALLENGE.
Agreed! I tend to make squares with bright swirls or other “crazy” designs that definitely need neutral neighbors. Mid-blue to navy also get used quite a bit to tame and coordinate the crazies.
So glad you posted this information. That helps answer questions I had myself.
The question had been asked often enough it definitely warranted a post. I am happy to know it answered your question and that people are coming to the site.
