Red, black and white; chocolate and teal; oranges and yellows. I don't go with set pattern colors. I go with my own ideas and now my quilts are recognized by the style of the colors together and not the pattern colors (get it?) I generally like to do Samplers and each block is a block unto itself and I will have one color that is in each block that is not a major color and I use that little bit of color to bring it out in the sashing and border. That is just my style. I have been quilting for about 13 years now and I see something different every time I look at a quilt that I have made. I try to make my quilts tell a story. Edie
PS - It all boils down to what makes us love quilting, what we make, what colors we use, what pattern we use and how we combine all of it to make a special quilt. Our personality comes out in each and every one of the quilts we do and that is what I love about quilting.
