I was thinking DWR might work, as each ring could be shades of purple on one and shades of orange for the other and then a w-o-w for the melons and centers. Would this work, ya think? I really think it's only gonna "work" if the colors were seperated like that instead of together like in a rail fence. I don't wanna use sashing to keep em apart either. I have searched here and all over the net but can't find purple and orange together in a quilt without black(halloween) or just the 2 of them. I suggested a green or yellow based of the color wheel and she said nope, just white but only if you must. gah!! help..???
I think you are right about separating the colors!
Dark rich purple and a redish-orange two color quilt?
Big patterns?
Big 8 pointed stars on a tone-on-tone background?
or an irish chain?
I don't think putting white with it, would be anything but distracting? Well, perhaps not - considering 1/3 of each color in a scrappy quilt?
OR big purple stars and big orange stars on a white background,
(Are they school colors? Look at the school stuff.)
