    Oh that is tough because Batiks are so versatile in color. I would go with purple, pink and aqua or lime. I also love the browns and orange. I am about to start a quilt using batiks and I can hardly wait for the class. It is called Circle Pizzaz with Judy Sisneros.

    WTxRed: Love your quilt! I don't recognize the pattern and was it difficult to make?

    Your color selection is fabulous!

    I am into yellow, turquoise and orange right now. All hues-I am in the process of embroidering my dining room curtains in these colors with a retro design. For the dining room, I'm using a coral, pale yellow and aqua. The colors look so good together.

    I absolutely love to use purple green and blue colors for quilts. I use other colors that compliment the recipient but I am most happy using purples blues and greens. but it also depends on the shade and tone of the colors.

    I don't think you can go wrong as long as the batiks complement each other. This is a baby girl quilt I did this year.[ATTACH=CONFIG]350144[/ATTACH]

    Me - I agree with the folks that said blue, green, yellow. Love that combination in any fabric.
