Hi everyone, I would like your words of wisdom, before I start a new quilt. I am thinking purple and green, but don't know if it is too boring. Maybe combined with brown and white? Or black? What would you do? Thanks for reading!

Those fabrics are lovely, but it depends on what pattern you intend to use. Log cabin would be nice with just these. Do you want sashings between blocks? Do you want a focus fabric? Geometric pattern? Applique?
I love those colors! I'm planning to make a bed runner for my daughter in those colors but feel like I should use some contrast with at least one of each color in darker shade. Or maybe black or gray sashing? I don't have a pattern yet so I need to do that first, then choose colors. Your quilt will be beautiful!

those are all lovely fabrics and will look wonderful together. either white or black will work well. lay the fabrics near these and see how you feel about them.
I am going to do English Paper Piecing, 1" honeycombs. The pattern will be Patchwork of the Crosses. Maybe adding a darker green and darker purple fabric makes it more interesting?
Just googled that pattern. Is it Linda Franz Inklingo? Elongated hexagons? I will be lovely in you fabric choices. I really like that pattern. Have fun with it!Originally Posted by MrsDarrenHayes
I think these are lovely choices and agree that darker shades are needed. Also when making POTC I think geometrics add interest and motion.
imho, The colors you have in the picture are close to perfect. Add one more darker purple and darker green for a bit more contrast if that is what your concern is, But they are wonderful the way they are. I would not add brown. There is nothing wrong with a two color quilt. This one will be soft and cozy. A relaxing combination. peace

I like your idea of staying in the colors, but darker, would be really pretty.
I think your two colors are fine but in this case, to avoid the boring factor, you'll need to find better contrast within the colors. Looks like you've got a lot of mid-range. If you want to see how the fabrics compare, take a black and white digital photo and you'll see which are light, dark and in the middle.
