How do you feel about batiks? They can bring in a variety of shades from teal green to teal blue plus, well, whatever colors are in the mix.
Here's a picture of one that we have. It's by Hoffman, and the rep just stopped by today and they have a whole new group of batiks in the works with very similar teal hues, and similar accent colors. Their lines of batiks flow so effortlessly, so you can add lighter colors or whatever you want.

Thank you so very much. Have a great day, early fall up here in Maine :)

I think I would try white and an aquamarine--maybe some silver. It really depends on what you are calling dark teal--more greenish or more blueish will change my design completely. I also like the lavender/lilac idea.

This is an overdue thankyou but I have been in the hospital with a minor stroke. Thankyou all for taking the time to answer my questions. I have decided that I will use the monochromes of greens/blues together and try to incorporate them with a border with same colors. I want it to be a scrappy quilt as I've collected the teals for a while. Now I just need advice on what pattern to use. I'm in the process now of finishing up a quilt for my son thats done in all the fall colors and I'm calling it falling leaves, its pattern is half log cabins, and don't want to go that pattern for the one for my daughter. Thank you again so much for all of your help, I'll post the new one in a few days, God willing. Have a great day xxx
