My original coloring before applying the Magic Wand.

St. Charles, Illinois, USA

The coloring AFTER the Magic Wand treatment. I like it better than the "original," which was the reason for the exercise.

I designed this quilt for another challenge, but because I am about to make it, I wanted to try out various colorings. I used the magic wand to find a satisfactory combination, then substituted fabrics.

I am very interested in Iowa history and have alwys wanted to make an Iowa star. I have redrawn the original block so it can be paper pieced without any "y" seams. I was surprised at the different ways it would look with different colorings. I had actually done this a few months ago when I learned to use the randomizing tool. It is really helpful and produces some surprising results.

I thought it was interesting how different parts of the block were emphasized by changing colors.

This is a variation of a Round Robin center I came up with a couple of years ago. I took two blocks from the Classic Pieced -- Five Patch library, the "Goose in the Pond" and the "Nine Patch Star". I quartered each and then combined their kitty-corners. With four of these new blocks as the center and one of my paper-pieced borders, it was time for the coloring fun.

I used 15 'Shades and Tints' of red. Some of the shades are so close, I can't tell them apart but wait until I use the Random Recolor tool on the next quilt!

This was the first time I played with the Set Hue part of the 'Magic Wand'. I like it! But for the challenge, I went back to the familiar Random coloring feature. Now the hard part is: which coloring do I choose?

Confession time: I did tweak this one a tad. The color of the binding border was too light so I picked up one of the darker colors in the quilt and used that instead.
