do an Eleanor Burns Day & Night.
They work best with 3 colors. |
I saw a picture of a Hunters Star on here yesterday or a couple days back done in purple and white. It was gorgeous, that pattern might look good with the orange and purple.

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..??? a close up of the fmq around the border [ATTACH=CONFIG]163226[/ATTACH] hangin in my room... only wall big enough with no direct sun!

Day & Night Quilt, use batiks to soften with 2, 3 or 4 fabrics. It will be beautiful!

katier ... that quilt is gorgeous!

I like those colours together - the form what is called a 'discord'. If you tend to like complementary or monochromatic colours I suppose it might take a little adjusting. I don't think the colours matter to any particular block.

I love star patterns and this one is beautiful. I'm not a fan of orange but I like the pastels of most every shade in the rainbow.

Thanks! I have made several in different color combinations and have loved them all! Here's a link:

Did she say it had to be a particular shade of either color? Light orange with deep purple or a print with both might just work and still please you while working on it.

I made a purple and orange qult a few years ago, it turned out to be one of my favorite quilts. The pattern I used was a mystery, and I don't have the pattern any more, but those two colors are actually great together. Good luck!!
