The SWAP this year is set up as 3 sets of 3 garments which work together plus 2 wildcards, so I suppose I could have a green set, a black set and a burgundy set if that is something I really wanted.
Anyway in the meantime I have a green tweed waistcoat and a cream knit top to sew up, so those will take at least a week and then I can recap, see if I am still lured by the berry tones.

edited to add I had a root through the fabric stash and could make a whole 11 piece plum/blackberry/burgundy/wine collection from 5 lengths of fabric I already own, and the pieces would all mix and match with a 3 piece plum suit I bought from the local dress agency. On this basis the whole green and copper thing would just be a little capsule and the berries would suceed instead. Hmmmm.

This is one of the hardest things about SWAPs. I like my color palette, but then get inspired by something completely different. I'm interested to see how you put together the complete plan with both palettes.
I definitely can see your dilema and that you have the fabric to do it would be oh so tempting. Now I so wanting some of the dark burgundy and hope that it shows up in the fabric stores here.
