[QUOTE=yonnikka;7453567]If you want a distinct color, then solids are one way to achieve that. Sports Team colors, True Christmas RED, True Navy for a Military quilt. I like the restful feeling of swaths of solid colors, it gives the eyes a place to rest. If you are making a quilt to represent Storybook Characters, for a child, it is best to get the colors JUST RIGHT. For example the blue dress of the princess ELSA, in FROZEN. Or Barbie Pink. Children often do not tolerate mistakes in such exacting cases... Take swatches of the desired tint to the store with you. Do not rely on the computer screen -- I've been fooled many times. A true blue that I think you are getting--- turns out to be aqua--and totally useless for my purpose.[/
I agree about the computer screen.
