Ya Want Orange? Ya Got Orange! BBA October 2014 Challenge

Each month the Blogging Business Artisans Team poses a challenge to its members.  This month's challenge comes from Abigail Jayne of  Abigail Jayne Art:

It's the Orange month!

Create something using orange or a pumpkin shape. Do something different, not just a Halloween holiday item, but get creative with the basic color tone of orange or a shade of orange. Or you could use a color combination incorporating orange.

Either way let orange inspire you!

This month's challenge was truly challenging.  You see, in my world view, all colors are not created equal -- and truth be told, orange is my least favorite of all the colors on the color wheel. 

I mean, orange is the color of prison coveralls, life vests, and traffic cones -- and when it comes to terror threat levels, orange is a very unnerving color!    Now, I admit orange has some redeeming qualities -- I like juicy oranges from Florida and Fall foliage.  But I just think the colors on the cool side of the color wheel are, well --- WAY COOLER!

Thankfully, Abigail Jayne gave us permission to use orange as part of a color combination -- and I do like orange and gray.  They play well together.  SO---when I found some really cute fox fabric, I decided I could rise to this month's challenge and make a unisex baby bib in orange and gray.

Those adorable little foxes are from the 100% organic cotton Picture Pie collection for Cloud 9 Fabrics.  The orange and white grid fabric on the reverse side was designed by Lotta Jansdotter for her Bella collection.  I even used an orange snap:

And -- because I had some scraps left over, I made a few more cord keepers. 

Hmmm---maybe I like orange a little bit after all!  So, like the food skeptic in Dr. Seuss's classic children's book, Green Eggs and Ham, I will thank the one who nudged me way out of my color comfort zone.  Thank you, thank you, Abigail Jayne!
