I took a page from someone whom I really want to give credit to. She is a very talented person. Her blog handle is Scooquilt. I hope you will take a moment to pop over to see what she's up to.
My dilemma with the blue mountain fabric was really getting to me. No matter how many other fabrics I auditioned, none of them worked but the blue fabric was too bright/strong. Several of my blogging friends gave me some great suggestions. I remember one from a few weeks ago when I was participating in a "hope" challenge. Anyway, she used Clorox diluted in water to spritz across a project to get it a beam of light affect which I found exciting, unique and fabulous. But rather than spritzing, I went for dunking the scrap in a 100% solution of Clorox and then rinsing. It worked! At least to my liking.

After....love it!!
It looks much softer and I am loving it. Now just one more block to finish. Can you see it? The one right beside the red barn. It's an empty block that I have to do something with and then I am done....no really!!
Thanks to everyone for your fantastic suggestions. I really appreciate your help.
Hope everyone is enjoying the wonderful Tuesday!!
