What about a carpenter's star? I can visualize that in pink and lime. I'll enclose a picture of mine, though it is not that color combination...might be food for thought though. (Ignore my cat inspector. He thought I wanted a picture of him and his orange mouse toy. :) )

If something like this interests you be sure to scroll down the comments. There is no pattern but she does give the size of the squares she used and she says she based it on a Kaffe Fassett design. I think this is an awesome design and would look great in the colors you would like to use! |

I think 2 fabric quilts make a statement. Think about a pink and brown - striking combination and definitely not too pink. It also have the advantage of being almost 100% strip pieced.

Do you want to make a pieced quilt, or applique, or a combo of both?
There are a couple of interesting quilts here. My favorite idea, however, is a vortex quilt. Can you imagine this in fuschia and green??? I think it would be so awesome, and it would definitely make a statement! And even though it looks difficult, it absolutely is not. I've made one and have another in progress. PM me if you want more info. [ATTACH=CONFIG]476768[/ATTACH] |

I think a 'bass note' of a very dark color might be a thought.
Eggplant would be a change of pace from dark brown or black. |

The second of those is really interesting: I'd love to try that, black and white plus one colour. It looks so effective. Not for this room, but I may think about giving that one a go in the future.
I understand what you mean about the vortex quilt moving. :) |
Good old Trip Around The World for me I've done two "one color" quilts. A red one and an orange one (Sons request).
It was an amazing lesson in color. You can control the color range and if you lay it out light to dark or the reverse you will have a beautiful radiant color burst that requires no further focal point work. Bee |
I just finished a top in lime green and teal. No pink but it is an alternative bright color theme to consider.
