Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I was given 9 of these blocks to use for a Linus quilt. Someone went to a lot of bother to make them so I want to make something nice with them but they look like shadows against any other color I've tried so far. All my fabrics are bright - well mostly - and yellows, ginger, green, white...all make the blocks look grey.
Any suggestions from people with a better eye for color or design would be much appreciated.
I would pull a green from the block, a medium value I think.
Anastasia leans towards yellow...or perhaps mauve.
These blocks, both in color and style, are as opposite to my usual style as you can get.
Yes, maybe the green I tried was too strong
I would sash the blocks at about 1/4 of the width, kind of a lattice look. They look like the could be climbing a trellis.
That what I'd do tho I think I'd go for a peach or other warm color that goes with the colors in the blocks. They're beautiful blocks & will make a fabulous quilt for some little person. Please post when you decide how to use these little gems.Originally Posted by QuiltinPeg

I like Quiltingpeg's idea. I think it would work really well with the flowers. A sort of grandmothers garden.
I like the cornerstone in pink idea.
QuiltinPeg do you have any suggestions for style? should I just insert plain blocks or try to mirror these in some way?
Acually my first thought was navy blue, but I think that would be too strong.
