Colors

 As I've said before patterns are just suggestions. The picture above is a granny square afghan using Rubic Cube colors. The afghan below is also a granny square afghan, using left over yarn, but also heavy on camouflage yarns.

 They are for different nephews with different interests. Same pattern, different colors, very different finished project.

This is another granny square afghan, using left over yarn, for another nephew. I do have a LOT of left over yarn! I'm still making squares for this one. The edging will be dark green. So it will be different from the other left over yarn afghan.

I like to make table toppers in white and vary the color scheme with different cloths under them.

 This is the pineapple hearts doily in gold thread, which I made for my parents' 50th anniversary.

Same pattern in white, not yet starched. Looks quite different.

Eventually, I want to have 12 doilies in this pattern in 12 different colors, 1 for each month.

 This doily is called African violets, and of course, the flowers could be in any color you chose.

 This table runner is another favorite. Above is one I made for my mom, in neutral colors to match her decor.

Same pattern, different colors for my sister's house.
So, look at patterns, use your imagination, and have projects that are one of a kind!
