I am about to start a quilt for my DGS and the pattern I chose is the cinder block in the Jan/Feb 2015 issue of Quiltmaker) in just two colors and they are solid white and gray. Well, my DGS wants blue and green. Does anyone have any suggestions on what color blue and green would work?
Here I am... see me waving? I love working with solids. They give a totally different look to a pattern than tonals or prints. Not to mention that they are cheaper. Just be sure they are good quality 100% cotton. Missouri Star Quilt Company has an awesome amount of color choices. Do you have a picture of the quilt you wish to make? If you will pm me I will help you all I can. Almost any blue and green will work together as long as you have one light and one dark color value together. Jan
