I hope this is the right place to post this.
My DD's boyfriends mother has asked me to make a quilt for her. They just bought a new home and she is in the decorating phase. They painted the master bedroom in Burgundy and Black. It is really pretty. She has been looking for a new quilt but all the stores have is flowery quilts and she is not a flower kind of person.
I am asking if any of you have ever made a quilt in burgundy and black? If so will you be willing to show me a pic of it. I am looking for ideas to show her plus I am curious as to how these colors will look in a quilt.

I don't have a picture but I know I've seen this color combination with moss green and ecru and it looked very pretty. Maybe take a trip to the paint store and get her paint chips to play with. I learned this from the design shows on HGTV, which I watch way too much of. Good luck, sounds like you've taken on a challenge. Let us see what you come up with, ok?

This would be pretty with a burgundy fabric

All that comes to my mind is Kona solids and a Amish pattern maybe? Kind of jewel tones with a black frame? I think it could be real pretty.

Well atleast it is not black and brown. Asked a dear friend what her favorite colors are as I want to make her a quilt. I ended up deciding on a pattern from quiltville.com called starstruck. I will be working in some red to make it sparkle and less manly.

Thank you amma. Those would look great in Burgundy and Black.

I don't have a picture of it but have made a few in these colors. It looked wonderful. And I've done it several ways, in stripes and in squares and it looks wonderful. Good colors togeher.

Those are pretty! Not as pretty as yours will be but they are pretty! Black & Burgandy are nice together

Since those are both very dark colors, I think I'd be temped to add some other colors in lights and mediums.

That's what I would do too but she made it clear she only wants the 2 colors. I'm only doing this cause I really like her and her son and my DD are perfect together. Otherwise I don't do commission quilts but this could be the start of something new for me.

There are a lot of quilts/patterns that are specifically designed for two colors. You might try doing a search for
that.

Right now, I'm going to bed since I have to get up in about 3 hours to get ready for church.
