I saw a suggestion on another blog to use these chips as a challenge for a guild - you pick a chip out of the bag and you have to make a block or a small quilt using those colors.<br /><br />I also used the chips to work on color theory. I didn't feel like cutting up the book, so I stopped by the hardware store and developed my own color wheel.<br /><br />LizAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-69938342226481936092009-07-28T20:02:09.847-04:002009-07-28T20:02:09.847-04:00Karen...fun idea with the paint chip cards.

The kids spent hours feeding things (mostly Styrofoam peanuts, but I think eventually napkins)to the elephant.<br /><br />Thanks for the great quilting idea.

That way everyone is on the same wavelength as far what exactly you mean by a certain color blue or other color. When you post a picture online, you have to worry about their screen settings displaying the color right or the printer printing it right - using the paint chips takes the customized settings out of the picture.Becca Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832010333831438408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-90294885661103000842009-07-28T08:53:05.112-04:002009-07-28T08:53:05.112-04:00The party sounds like a fantastic idea!
