QUOTE=wildyard;5878013]To my mind, you might do better going with a blue to border the red and yellow, rather than trying to match it. As was mentioned, age and fading will be hard to match us, and going with a contrast color would add a new dimension to your quilt also. You would have the 3 primary colors in your quilt if you went with the blue.[/QUOTE]


I have found 2 reds and 3 yellows that "might" work out. I realize that the scale and the exact color of the fabric is still a mystery to me and will be until I actually see it. I am still searching just in case the perfect fabric is out there waiting for me to find it. The Mid Atlantic Quilt Show is this weekend and if I don't come up with something there I plan to order on line.
