I saw an amazing wall somewhere in a restaurant in NM years ago that was purple and orange--- Really slapped you in the eye, but gorgeous, like a sunset. What about a D9P? Sassy granny |

I was thinking DWR might work, as each ring could be shades of purple on one and shades of orange for the other and then a w-o-w for the melons and centers. Would this work, ya think? I really think it's only gonna "work" if the colors were seperated like that instead of together like in a rail fence. I don't wanna use sashing to keep em apart either. I have searched here and all over the net but can't find purple and orange together in a quilt without black(halloween) or just the 2 of them. I suggested a green or yellow based of the color wheel and she said nope, just white but only if you must. gah!! help..??? |
PatriceJ has some Suns basetball material.

i did a purple, orange and green Robbing Peter to Pay Paul quilt. Orange peel is another name of it.

Purple and orange are great Fall colors! Purple, orange and green make a triangle on the color wheel (and therefore make a complete color scheme!) A bit of green leaves in a print would be enough to really make the color scheme sparkle! Set with cream and you've got a recipe for a gorgeous quilt!

I recently started an orange and purple quilt.... I also added green and a dark dotted fabric with the three colors also did it in a D9P. I love it! It IS bright, but definitely pretty. :D
I have to assemble the blocks, but sadly it no longer has a home, so it will stay in the UFO pile for a time. Good luck with the project! |
I think the bow tie is great, two colors and so easy, Say white and purple for tie and orange to slash.... actually I think they are great colors. lol, (granddaughter also likes them) IF you didn't want a 3rd color here a person would not need to. I think a better stand out for show... lol
Bowtie tutorial: http://sewdivadiane.blogspot.com/201...-tutorial.html ------------------------ this one was shown on QB, by the gal that does long arm quilting, Char - - can't remember how to spell her name: She showed hers in Rasberry and brown pokadots. She also used a third color. (beautiful here is another one Squares within Squares 2 http://www.quilterscache.com/S/Squar...res2Block.html What ever you do have fun and they ae great colors. :) |

A pin wheel pattern would work well with no sashing. I had a request for bright purple and neon green for a teenage girl. It turned out beautiful. Not colors I would use on my own, but I can appreciate the contrast in the finished quilt.
