    I really don't know what to do with this request. I have spent a week trying to come up with something and have gotten nowhere. I was thinking pastels or small prints wouldn't be so in-your-face, I don't understand the D9P enough to try it. Maybe I will search some more on that idea as well. Thanks for the input!

    The D9P would be great with white as the middle square of the 9P. I made one recently for my FIL and it was really quite easy. Also like the idea of a log cabin (someone else suggested).

    I recently had a request for orange and blue, just orange and blue! I was thinking maybe hunters star, there are some really beautiful ones.

    I love purple and orange together. But white as a background sounds like it would make the purple and orange too stark. I would suggest using a pale purple as the background (I think a pale orange would be too hard to find). Using the pale shade would also soften the colors. I also think using the one-color batiks would be perfect.

    The first time I saw these two colors together was in a fall flower arrangement. Both colors were sort of greyed and of course then the green leaves and little bit of gold. It will be beautiful if you find the right fabrics.

    Go to http://images.google.com

    In the search box, enter:

    quilt purple orange

    and you'll find a variety of images that a) will give you ideas and b) demonstrate different ways to use orange and purple together such that you may actually become a convert (or at least enjoy the quilt you'll make)

    I mean, how fun is this:

    or this:

    (I could go on and on...)
