Some questions have come up about our annual challenge that I wanted to address. The theme this year is Black/White plus one color. That means you can use prints or solids that contain black and white plus one color. Example: a black and white print, solid black, solid white and ONE color, which can be a print if it contains just black and white with the color. Another example: You could do a mix of black, white and grey. Grey would be your one color. It can be prints of black and grey and white. White on white fabric is also great. I hope this is making sense. Don't stress about this. It's supposed to be fun.
