I love orange in Fall quilts and in landscape quilts. However this one looks more rust to me it may be the lighting on the picture I found.

Tiger Lily...I’m not going to rush out to buy some but I can see where it may come in handy. Orange isn’t one of my “go to” colors.

I love orange, it is my youngest granddaughter ‘s favorite color so I’ve used it in a couple quilts- sure brings them to life.

Those are gorgeous, ckcowl....

I love orange too. Changed my colors for the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt to orange and royal blue.

Border will be a "twist" with blue predominant and orange and neutral background.

This is technically a crocheted blanket, but it is the back to a fabric quilt.

Okay my search says ultra vioiet is the pantone of the year???

I like orange in the right quilt, especially fall ones, Pantone has Ultra Violet as there color of the year-which I love & use to decorate my home, so I use both the violet and orange in the fall-Guess Im in style this year!

A little bit of Orange can really liven up a quilt, and make it look more inviting. I use orange far more than I ever thought I would, that's for sure.

I love orange except for red/orange and this seems to be a red orange. Still looking forward to seeing everything created with orange.

SusieQOH 01-09-2018 06:15 AM

This one does look like red orange.

I love orange! All shades.

I love orange and the new shade is lovely - leaning toward my favorite - coral.

I like orange, and I like this Tiger Lily shade of it. However, what I really love is more of a tangerine-coral. It's so fresh and vibrant and pairs well with both cool and warm colors. Seems I gravitate to it when making quilts for kids.

I just swore to not buy any more fabric - yet I'm going to keep this one in mind.
To me it looks like "International Orange" - the color that is painted on the glorious Golden Gate bridge!

I guess I need to call my LQS. I was just ready to cut a quilt with green squares and purple cornerstones. Now I think the cornerstones should be Tiger Lily.
