Hi, I made a Beds fan in colors. The traditional Beds methods do not translate readily to colors, so adaptations must be made. I had to have one color just cross under a trail to continue on the other side instead of trading pairs with the trail. There was also extra starting and stopping of threads for the color changes. Doing what must be done to get the color where you want it, must come ahead of strict traditional methods, but the results can be wonderful.
Be adventuresome and give it a try.
