Challenge Number 2
For this next quilt challenge we will be doing a monochromatic quilt.
Monochromatic is a color scheme consisting of only a single color or hue. A hue refers to a pure color – one without tint or shade (added white or black pigment respectively).
To have a monochromatic color scheme you start with the single base hue and then add white or black or even gray to get the different shades, tones and tints. See Wikipedia for an example.


In the Wikipedia explanation they also say that with monochromatic color schemes the energy is more subtle and peaceful due to lack of contrast of hue. Monochromatic color schemes may be considered boring unless there is diversity within the design
