Just wondering if anybody has a favorite color scheme that happens to pop up in your quilts, accidentally or on purpose.

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??

I like:
chocolate with pale blue, chocolate with pink, black with brights, white with pale colors, and apparently a lot of yellow because it's creeping into every project. LOL

Hands down is red, black olive, and ivory. Here's a pic of some I used together for a bargello. Loved the combination so much I redecorated my LR around it!

Red, white, and black---I call it my White Stripes color scheme (the band wore only red, white, and black)

AmyBaby 08-12-2011 02:31 PM

I'm totally drawn to chocolate brown and crimson reds right now...if i buy anymore Grace by Moda I'm gonna be in trouble.

I pick who is getting the quilt first, then then pattern.....decide on color last and tailor them to suit the recipient. Sooo....no, I don't have favorites that pop into my head. I wish I could tho, I would do them all in reds!

Dolphyngyrl 08-12-2011 02:53 PM

pink and green
purple and turquoise
yellow and blue

Barb44 08-12-2011 04:23 PM

For a combination I like browns and aquas. When shopping I always gravitate to the blues and purples.

granmalovesyou 08-13-2011 04:11 AM

my favorites are red/white or cream, I tend to lean more to the brighter colors

stoppain 08-13-2011 04:39 AM

I'm a teal, green, purple mostly

IrishNY 08-13-2011 05:14 AM

I like almost everything. Every time I think there is a combination of colors I am not fond of, I see a quilt that changes my mind. :D

mhansen6 08-13-2011 05:19 AM

Earth tones. We live out in the forest so my colors tend to be earth tones. I have a lot of it in my stash.

Dianne1 08-13-2011 05:26 AM

Turquoise, but I can never find any.

Jennoh2 08-13-2011 05:27 AM

Greens it is, and they seem to appear in every quilt I make. Isn't a shade of green that I don't like. I also find that somehow a pop of bright color appears in everything. I'm just not a neutral gal.

Julie in NM 08-13-2011 05:32 AM
