I was semi-reorganizing some fabrics today and ran across an unusual amount of turquoise. I understand how a color wheel works. The color directly across on the Tietery (sp) wheel looks to be a burnt orange. In my mind, that sounds just wrong. Maybe that would be a combination that needs to grow on me. Any thoughts out there?

Yes Tonnie...send me the turquoise and then you won't have to worry about it. LOL

I'll fight ya for it!

Or the colours on each side on the colour wheel, work with it.
Or other shades of the same turquoise.

Here's a muted version - teal and rust.
It wasn't planned but I love the way it came together.

No fighting allowed...so I guess I will just have to share it with you. LOL

I don't know about Burnt Orange, but I love Turquoise.

Imagine...fighting over fabric!! LOL

I can't see burnt orange with turquoise because one has a yellow undertone and one has a blue undertone but what do I know...I'm just a newbie...but I do have a color wheel. I know that a light florencent (sp) green goes well with turquoise. Also a coral.

Got to say, the burnt orange just sounds "wrong", but then again, I would imagine that the shading has much to do with the overall look.

TonnieLoree, love your quilt!
