What would be a good pattern utilizing oranges, greens, etc. that go well together. I'm pretty much open to a design. Some appliqué on it would be fine but it needs to be very useable and washable.
Thank you in advance for ideas.
I just made this orange quilt for a young girl but this would look great in darker oranges and more masculine prints. The pieces are cut large enough that you could use novelty/theme prints too. It is a free pattern on Amy Smart's web sight (it's called "Simple Stripes and is halfway down her tutorial page). Very easy to make larger (instructions at the bottom of the tutorial).
My new quick go-to pattern.
