Oh my goodness, I love orange quilts but I never thought to google it.....what a wonderful array of them on this site.

Lots of possibilities using orange - you could go light and bright with lemon yellow and lime green on/with white

You could tone it down with rust and brown - add a touch or purple or eggplant/aubergine and olive green- surprisingly, it does work (the technical reason - it's a triad on a color wheel)

You can put it with red and yellow for a blaze of color - sunset/sunrise colors - add some black for silhouettes

disclaimer: I have nothing against orange, and no orange has been hurt in asking these questions. Off to find pictures of my orange quilt ;-)

Pantone names a color every year and designers of fashion and home decor follow up with lots of articles in their choice. Year 2012 is the year of "Mango Tango" You can find it in most everything....from paints to bathing suits.

I still have to make a picture of the quilt as it is ready but hey, you can tell there's orange in it;)

That is stunning. The picture I'm sure is a pale resemblance to this bright, gorgeous use of COLOR!

I've got an orange one. I call this Carrot Sticks, and have shown it here when it was just a top. Now, it just has a bit of binding for me to do.
