color decisions for new quilt
1 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone, I would like your words of wisdom, before I start a new quilt. I am thinking purple and green, but don't know if it is too boring. Maybe combined with brown and white? Or black? What would you do? Thanks for reading!

Those fabrics are lovely, but it depends on what pattern you intend to use. Log cabin would be nice with just these. Do you want sashings between blocks? Do you want a focus fabric? Geometric pattern? Applique?
|
those are all lovely fabrics and will look wonderful together. either white or black will work well. lay the fabrics near these and see how you feel about them.
|
I am going to do English Paper Piecing, 1" honeycombs. The pattern will be Patchwork of the Crosses. Maybe adding a darker green and darker purple fabric makes it more interesting?
|
imho, The colors you have in the picture are close to perfect. Add one more darker purple and darker green for a bit more contrast if that is what your concern is, But they are wonderful the way they are. I would not add brown. There is nothing wrong with a two color quilt. This one will be soft and cozy. A relaxing combination. peace

I like your idea of staying in the colors, but darker, would be really pretty.
|
I love the fabrics but I think you need a color to make them pop! Are you doing sashing or borders.?
|
Purple/mauve/lavender and different greens are one of my favourite colour combos. Your fabrics are lovely!
|
No sashing, not sure about the border yet. I'll have to see how the blocks work out. Thanks for all your kind words and input!
