favorite color/color scheme in quilts
#82
I don't know that I actually have any favorites. The colors I choose for my quilts depends totally on what I'm making and for who. The rag quilt I made for my daughter Melissa was of various shades of blue because she's obsessed with blue. The quilt I made for my daughter's teacher was an "Apples for the Teacher" quilt, so it had a lot of reds and greens in it. I just made a "Gay Pride" quilt for my nephew, so it has the colors of the rainbow in it. I'll be starting one for my niece soon who loves cobalt blue, so that will be the main color for her's. The fabric I've picked to make a quilt for my toddler Grandson is very bright with primary colors. Someday I might make a quilt for me, but I don't know what color it will be yet! LOL!

I rally like purple or lavender and green together in a quilt. I also love blue and yellow quilts. I like most colors and think that they all make beautiful quilts. One color I seem to avoid in my quilts is orange but if I am making a quilt for someone and that is their favorite color, I would use it anyway.

I love using green in quilts and when designing a quilt (mostly picking blocks and laying them out on paint) pink and green happen to appear in a lot of mine which to me is weird as I'm not a pink person at all.
Anybody else have favorites??
