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! :)

Purple blue and green

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

red orange yellow ive had a hard time finding good batikes in those colours

Probably different shades of blue and tan. Think beachy.

Today I like the turquoise/red combo. Maybe next week it'll be black and white with lime. Every time someone posts a quilt I change my mind.

Here is a quilt I am working on. Maybe the blocks will give you an Idea of which three look great together. I love them all.

hmm, right now I'm playing with emerald green, dark blue, and rust/orange. Or maybe the green, rust/orange, and deep purple. I'm into high contrasts that will really pop

Suzy

The Oregon Quilting Challenge for the next TV program are purple, teal, and dark rose.

I love all things batik. I'm currently working on a really great pink and grey quilt. But I also love the idea of green, blue and purple.

Let us know what you decide!

purples and greens for me. love me some batiks!!!!

Purple, blue and aqua, I love that combo. But I love batiks so just about any combo works for me. :)

Either blue, green & purple OR purple & red.

I love browns and greens - those are "my" colors - but I seldom quilt with them together for some reason. I think good browns are hard to find.

I agree completely about the good browns..a very rare find.

I love the blues, yellows and greens.

Secondary colors - orange, green, purple - and make them bright!

blue, green, purple

Every/any thing bright!

Jewel tones.

Teal, purple, deep blue.

Hot pink, lavendar, deep purple.

Like I said, every/any thing bright!

Ditto - I love fall colored batiks - I have lots in my stash - seems like everytime I am at the LQS I pick up another fat quarter.

They do! I was just looking at some gorgeous gray/silver batik over at Fabric Depot... yum!

That would be my pick, too... some mossy greens, some warm browns, a dull gold, &/or a muted rust... YUM! And to think I didn't used to like batiks!!!

I made the attached "Yellow Brick Road" for my DH out of a variety of earthy batiks (I think they were McKenna Ryan's). He loves it. I think it looks like mud (tho I do like the panto on it --- moose & pine trees). But not because of the batiks... the pattern just wasn't the right one (IMHO). But, he LOVES it & that's all that matters.

I've been saving greens & purples to make something for my DIL. I didn't think I'd like them (I like green, not so much with the purple) but I love them!!!

Would a green & brown Pine Tree quilt made from batiks be super yummy? Oh, I feel another project coming on!

I used batiks in my avatar. It is turquoise, rust and black. I love theat color combo.

For batiks, I would like to try something in gold, red and black......not my ordinary shades but I think that it might make for an interesting batik hanging

I like bright color. So I would probably use purple, teal (or aqua) and pink (or orange)

Blue/green/hint of yellow

Probly very bright ones, purple, blue, pink.

Black and red (white?) makes a striking quilt. I love reds and greens together.
Think about the room you will display the quilt in, what colors would fit into this room.

Yellow, orange, red. Yellow, blue, green.

Your quilt is gorgeous!
