Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Just wondering if you would ever use fabric with gold metallic and fabric with silver metallic, together in the same project.
Don't know why not - they mix them in jewelry

That's my feeling, too. I know the "rules" used to say it was a no-no but that was then & this is now!

As long as it coordinates with the other fabrics...SURE! I actually like gold/silver together.
Why not? Remember: there are no rules!
Almost never ! I find it tough to mix the two. The gold in most metalics is so over powering to the silver. Most silver metalics are blue( winter type) , a few purple, and a couple black... so the base fabrics make it limiting. I would love to see a combo metalic with both I think it would make it easier to combine . The ultimate would have sliver, gold and a copper colored metalic ... a girl can dream !
I actually experimented with some Moda Marbles and fabric paint .. did a spatter style paint in metalics of the three. It got me the results I was looking for ... just messy process.

I would for a Christmas themed project. Reminds me of the song sung by Burl Ives, "Silver and Gold."
When I read the post I started to sing that song, lol
I think it would have to depend on how it looks together. Sometimes you can have too much of a good thing. You will know when you look at it. Go with your instincts.
Be the best that you can be at everything you do.
