Sage or a hunter Green needs to replace that green (think blue undertones here - not yellow undertones as the stripes in this fabric appear to be cools). Really will depend on your pattern as to what you want to have stand out. Softer toned additional fabrics might make those yummy stripes really pop whereas the brights might overpower the focus fabric. Just my humble opinion.

Your choice is Perfect.
|
Purple or dark green.
|
I's go with black or white or a darker green like someone else said. Does it have the little dots of color in the selvage? They are good for isolating colors.

Aqua maybe?

you dont have to match exact. try a little bit darker. or tone on tones instead of solids. I like the purple
|
I like the pink and picking up the tanish/yellow color, but to me the green is off, and I would go for something a little darker or with a more blueish tone to it. It's hard to tell on our monitors as each shows color a little differently.
|
I agree with the black or dark purple...the pink and green would really "POP" :-)
|
Save some of that wonderful stripe for binding on the bias - what pizzaz that would bring to your finished quilt!
|
How about a shade of gold?
|
I'm adding my vote to the chocolate brown suggestions.
|
Not that there's anything wrong with being Amish.

ditto and also another shade of one of the colors already chosen.
there is a darker green in there as well as a different pink/red. I'd go that route if you want to calm it down. Aqua would make it brighter... |
How/what you are using it in might determine the way to go. It seems to need a dark. I have used the stripe and put it with a darker burgandy rose and it worked very well. I also put it with a dark green and that was nice too.

Aren't you glad you asked! :mrgreen:
The green colour patch in your second pic is better, I agree with some black but then I'm obsessed with black! BUT it's hard to say exactly without knowing your pattern, therefore what proportion of each you plan using. :-D |
I think purple and aqua/blue with the pink and green would be pretty
|
I think a different green and black trim.
|
Very beautiful colors! I think for me, the bright green is a little too bright, I would go with a sage green or aqua. Gonna be beautiful though.
|
Black would really make those colors pop. I love the stripe.
|
White or chocolate brown could work.
|
I like your neutral tan. Too many brilliant or strong colors weaken the effect of all of them. Put it away for a few days, then take another look and decide. Relax and enjoy it! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
Blue
|
DARK chocolate with the bright colors :D
|
I'd say a darker green. The lime doesn't really look like it belongs with the striped fabric but the other two do.
|
White or black would be my choice
|
love the colors
|
a print really ties the solids together.
