Here are what I finally put together. Let me know what you think before I buy it lol. As I said before im not great with colors yet so if you think something wont go well, dont be afraid to be honest!:)
|
looks good to me.................. will be looking forward to seeing the finished quilt.
|
Oh, I like those.... Very pretty! :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
seems to need a yellow/gold
|
The other option that someone suggested was purples. I could try both ways. I just want to make sure it is right since they are more expensive fabrics (10 dollars a yard or so)
|
I agree, a little yellow.
|
instead of the pink?

My first thought too, had been a red/orange! |
I love the colors! And I just can't see yellow with those.
|
I love them!

Some soft yellow gold would set it off and punch it up ...IMO.

I like your original colors. Very spa-like and relaxing. And the darker colors would be great for contrast. I think you do great with color. I'd steal that color palette in a minute!
|
I really like those original colors, too. The only reservation I'd have about them is that lightest red and the lightest brown are pretty similar in shade, so not sure if the contrast would be enough between them.
So what kind of bargello pattern are you going to do? |
I love your color choices, but I'd add some yellow also. Can't wait to see the finished project. I'm wanting to do one also. Thanks for sharing.
|
Ooooo nice selection :D:D:D
|
You can download/enlarge this color wheel and then cut it up and try out different combinations :D:D:D

I really love your original colors.

Eddie- This is the bargello pattern that I have
http://www.lockwoodquilts.com/store/.../illusion.html I still havent decided on the background color, black, white, cream.... not positive. |
Thanks for the color wheel link amma! :D *huggles*
|
Wow, that's going to be beautiful! I really like the look of it with a dark background. I think those initial three colors you picked out would look great. Are the purple, too. O.k., I'm indecisive, I can't make up my mind, LOL! :D Have you made up yours, yet?
|
Hahaha. I dont know lol. I think they would both be beautiful, but since someone said that it was very spa like now im leaning towards the pink again hahaha :D Yes, I think the pink. It is going to be my bedroom theme so I think I could do more...with pictures of water and what not. We both love Mexico so yes... ill go with the pink! :D
|
Your colors are so much like the colors in my Dear Jane quilt I'm making! So, IMHO, they are perfect!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Love the pattern!!! You're a brave girl :) I love all the colors you're looking at too. Have you settled on something yet???
|
I love it just the way you originally picked it out.
I'd bypass the yellow.. but then I'm not much of a yellow person.. |
You should get a simple color wheel, available at craft stores, and use it to get your color choices, then remember, every quilt need a "punch" color. Not alot of it but just enough to kick it up a notch.

Awesome Pattern!!! :D:D:D
I can't wait to see it finished!!! |
MOmto4 ...I am wondering of you have looked thru the pattern yet?? HOw hard is this quilt [attern..I am thinking I may buy it...it looks nice. I love bargellos....and I have a few books and patterns that I have already done..thinking I should try another??
|
I think if you put those colors together stand back a tiny bit and squint you will see the 'effect' of them together vs the invidual colors and that will help you the most. I dont see yellow but that is mostly a tiny bit of yellow goes a huge mile and it might end up screaming at you in the bargello which is a very sassy pattern and unless you want yellow to be your focus where your eye pops to I wouldnt use it. I havent made a quilt bargello but don't you have enough colors already? I have made them with needlework. I think it is much more difficult to do with fabric. I can see if I tried it a whole lot of seam ripping going on.
|
I love these it will be gorgeous !!
|
Oh this is going to be an awesome quilt. Could you just double the work and make me one <g>! I really would take good care of it. By the way, love your first color choices and would also skip the yellow. But as said before I am also not a big fan of yellow. Can't wait to see it!

Gorgeous.... very "ice cream like" or "florida like" or spring time.... yummy.
|
I like your original colors. I see the beach in them.
The pink reminds me of the inside of a conch shell, the turquoise looks like the water, and the browns the beach. |
I like it the way it is. And I love the patern. Looking forward to seeing the finished product! :)
