I think you could safely mix the two, but if you are hesitant for any reason, pick one color and do it in many shades of that colour mixed with a nice white or cream and then use the other color on the back for your backing.

For fun - I would use both colors and maybe white, for elegant I would use one color with white. That's just my thought at least at this moment!

I would use both colors because I love turquoise & coral together. The white background is a good choice.

these colors must be the ones this year. Our grandson and his fiance have chosen them along with taupe as their colors.

Bonnie and Camille have used coral and turquoise in several of their fabric lines... and all are gorgeous. Anything by Bonnie and Camille ought to please the bride.

I totally agree! I LOVE their lines! Lots of turquoises! I have a charm pack and a layer cake in 'Scrumptious' calling to me!

If the two colors bother you, how about putting one color on the front and the other on the back

Coincidence - after reading this I was in Pictures and clicked on "Finished and Ready To Go" and there's a really pretty quilt in turquoise and coral fabrics. Take a look - the combination is really lovely.
