I am planning my next project, a quilt for my daughter when she heads off to university in the autumn. The apartment bedroom is painted off-white and very bright. When we saw it I thought - this place needs some color! :roll:
Can you please help me with the most difficult part of my quilt-making? I am terribly lacking in skill when it comes to picking color combos and usually have to cheat by copying something from a magazine, or ordering a quilt-kit. :oops: I have plenty of scraps, so I'm thinking a nice scrappy windmill might be in order! I am going on a bus tour with our local guild to a show in early May - with several planned stops at LQS's. Can you please suggest your favorite 3 color and 4 color combos? |
pinks, reds, and oranges come to mind with some yellow sprinkled in.
Also blues, greens and yellows. The bright Fassett (?) colors come to mind as well as Amy Butler fabrics. |
How does red, white and black sound? A friend of mine made a log cabin with red centers and blacks and whites surrounding the center and it is gorgeous.

That's a hard question!!! My "favorites" vary all the time!
I would suggest you have someone in the LQS help you. Some people are really good at helping you find combinations that are pleasing to you. Sorry that I'm no help! :( |
I have seen a lot of brown and pink or brown and teal.
What is your granddaughter's favorite colors? Go with that!! |
sueisallabout quilts - don't think that you weren't able to help! Just look at your avatar picture- The colors in it are gorgeous! The mixes of blues and golds..... God must be a quilter :)

purple, red and some yellow and a tiny bit of solid black
|
pink, blue, purple, and green
|
I personally love purples and blues with some neutral's added to make the colors pop more and also a big fan of black and white with a bright color (usually purple) Popping out here and there!
Yup it's a purple phase here :) |
You might want the dominate colors to be the colors of the school. I have made 2 of my grandchildren quilts in their school colors fussy cutting the mascot. I am working on 3 more in other school colors.
