I've recently decorated a bedroom: the walls are a neutral cream, the furniture wood, cream or white. It needs a splash of colour and I'm using bright pink (think fuchsia, raspberry, magenta) and a touch of green (lime). Of course I want to make a quilt as a focal point. I'm really struggling to find a pattern idea. One problem is that I want to avoid at all costs the lighter, sugary pinks - I want this to be a statement rather than pretty-pretty pink. That makes it difficult to provide different colour values in the quilt. I've thought about doing a 2-colour pink and cream top, but I fear that would be boring to make and might not have the impact I'm looking for. I've also thought about a Kaffe Fassett type approach, using lots of different fabrics with similar colour values - I'm going to play with that idea, but am not confident that I have the eye (or can afford the fabric!) to pull it off. Anyone got any other suggestions, please?
