batiks - two or three colors to use together?
 
According to your own tastes... if you were to pick two or three colors of batiks to use together in a project of your choosing, which colors would you use?

blue, gray, and yellow. Im really into pairing grays with bright colors right now. Its so pretty...do they make gray batik?

i made a red white and purple batik quilt - but used probably 15 -18 different fabrics in those families.

I like the warm tones of fall, Orangy red, yellowy with another color, and a great chestnut brown that had some great fall colors with it.
Every year I look for a really great chestnut brown that has other fall colors mixed in( small scale) ... still looking.

I would pick a green and aqua combo. Probably 2 medium values and a light.

Violet, teal, and emerald if I was going for everything in the same family. Brights of each so that I could pair them with black and make them pop! Mad jewel tone love over here.

I just chose the jewel tones-bright rose,lime green and blue.

Today I'm in the mood for a green/blue/purple color set. Tomorrow...who knows! :)

I'm also a jewel tones girl! Not that I don't buy every batik under the sun!
