    Orange is one of my favorite colors for quilts. I have to try hard to use other colors! My favorite combination is turquoise and orange.

    I am currently making an orange, white and aqua quilt. I love that combination. And, I love pink, orange green. Go over to ModifyTradition.blogspot.com and OhFransson.com for some neat color ideas.

    This was done "back in the day". Every diamond cut out by hand after tracing a linoleum template with a pencil. Hand stitched together. Hand quilted.

    Hi,
    Take a look at the May issue of "The Quilter". On page28 is a nice quilt with orange tones. I have just finished the top and will try to quilt it this next week. The walls in my bedroom are a very light peach.

    Enjoy

    I am new to the forum but wanted to tell you I saw a beautiful quilt yesterday done in geometric shapes in the most vibrant colors of oranges,reds,purples,yellows,blues the fabrics were batiks, and tyetied which I normal wouldn't like but the quilt shop had it hanging up over that selection of fabric and it was one of the most striking quilts I have ever seen .My daughter is getting married and she wanted oranges and creams,so we mixed cream , peaches,poppies and tangerines the cream softens it.

    I did a small quilt using a bright orange fabric and toned it down with other fabrics.
