Palmateer Point Quiltalong

I've followed Lori's blog at Humble Quilts for several years now.  I think it was the first blog I ever followed.  I love her color palettes even though they seem to be colors that I don't often buy.  I've never done one of the quilt alongs that she has and I've regretted it every time.  So when she started a new one several weeks ago, I decided to join in.  Since it was a 21"  project, I wanted to use the same types of colors not my usual brights.  I dug deep into my stash and came up with these for week one.
I went back and forth on whether I liked this combo or not...sometimes it seemed too busy and not enough contrast and at another look I liked it.  I decided to let it stand as it was a mystery and I didn't 
know how they would be used.

Week two was the half square triangles made very easy with my Quilt in a Day Triangle Square up Ruler and making 8 at a time.  Week three continued with sewing the HST's together.
Week four was the reveal and putting it all together!  Such a cute pattern...I'm thinking about doing it again in Christmas colors.  
I do wish I had gone a little darker for some of the smaller squares but overall, I'm happy with it.  Now to decide how to quilt it.   Thank you Lori!
