orange quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
My son bought me orange fabric for Christmas. He said he wanted to make sure he was buying fabric I didn't have, and he knew I wouldn't have any orange. (He is right. I mainly do purple or blue. Orange isn't even on my list...)

But I have ended up liking the quilt I made from the fabric he bought.

Here is my orange quilt. I am surprised that I like it and surprised that it felt refreshing to be working with a new color. The pattern is Just Take Five.

It’s good to get out of our comfort zone

I like it! I love tangerine orange. Funny how we have "our" colors. I think I manage to work orange into most of the kid quilts I make for donation, and very little purple. (Used to be my favorite color and I think I burned out???) I have yet to make a black and white quilt.

Your addition of red and white sure is fresh with the orange. Tell your son he "done good."

Very pretty! I use a lot of orange fabrics. It's bright & refreshing! :-)

I've never been an orange person either, but that's great--and so trendy with Pantone saying "Tiger Lily" is THE color this year!
