color advice
 
I'm making purple Star blocks & want to put 9 patches in between sorta like an Irish chain. What color should I use in my 9 patches, was wanting to get away from Pink ( my first choice). I'd like to step (kinda) out of my comfort zone.

My first thought was aqua, or lavender. I go to my LQS and lay out all sorts of color combo. You will know when it the right combination.

I like teal with purple or aqua. You could also use yellow or gold.

Have you tried shades of greens?

If it is a purple with red in it spring or lime green go really well. Bluish purple looks good with greens that lean toward more blue in them than yellow.

Wow, I really think I'm going to be daring and go with lime green. I even have a yd. in my stash (another what was I thinking). I never thought I'd ever use that.

Green or aqua have always looked nice with purple, gold or gray will also look nice as well

Here's another vote for green or aqua.

Try green, yellow or black.
