Use it with blues.
Try orange, rose, soft purple, with touches of aqua on a pale yellow background.
Use some of the strips as narrow borders/flanges in other quilts.
Are the wide enough for bindings?
Wow, I think you have a treasure!

And orange is not a color I will be using as a rule.
A little maybe for scrappys, but not a whole bagful... Any suggestions of what I could put with orange to make it less.... orange? and not look like the 70's. lol.

But I think because you added the yellow and off white, which are so close to orange on the wheel..I think that would make the blue sing the loudest lol..Depending on the amount of blue too...I think it'll be really pretty (smile)
I like your orange quilt wildyard! And I came a little too late to the party...I was totally in love with those orange batik strips you had... I was looking over at my stash for possible trading before I got to the end of this thread lol
And stitchinjoy, your Pineapple Blossomquilt is gorgeous
