Color play on project in process

 Hello, everyone.

Today is a Color Play post: one where various fabrics are laid out and considered in relation to colors, pattern, etc.

The base is a set of blocks for the Summer Table Runner/Flag from Sweet Pea. There was earlier color play to decide between a strip of six and a three-pairs configuration, and also to decide which "M" goes where. At that time I noticed that the people who created this pattern apparently combined an existing letter or two with small changes, as the up and down alteration they like isn't happening all the way through. No biggie. (It's in the M blocks, the light one is Block 3 in the instruction, which would make a low U and  low M, but I put it as the fourth block to get the light and dark alternation which makes a low M and a low E.) 

 There are several iterations.

This first candidate is very summery, but the colors don't work as well as I expected. Probably will use it for the Fourth of July runner instead. (I have a whole yard of the lovely roses.)

The pink and green at the bottom doesn't work well, it's too busy. Keeping the psychedelic waves for more consideration.

Now trying another summery rose print. It comes off too busy for my taste, though if only an inch or so will show it would maybe work. 

Swapping the waves and the small roses. The roses are still reading as busy.

Toward the end, one is rising in the ranks...but can still be outrun by one final contender. 

Blueberries on yellow or psychedelic waves? On the one hand, the blue and yellow hit all of the blocks pretty well. On the other hand, the waves read as "almost a solid."

I actually lean toward the blueberries. There is only going to be an inch or so showing anyway and the colors work with everything.
