Default orange quilt

My son bought me orange fabric for Christmas. He said he wanted to make sure he was buying fabric I didn't have, and he knew I wouldn't have any orange. (He is right. I mainly do purple or blue. Orange isn't even on my list...)

But I have ended up liking the quilt I made from the fabric he bought.

Here is my orange quilt. I am surprised that I like it and surprised that it felt refreshing to be working with a new color. The pattern is Just Take Five.

I like it! I love tangerine orange. Funny how we have "our" colors. I think I manage to work orange into most of the kid quilts I make for donation, and very little purple. (Used to be my favorite color and I think I burned out???) I have yet to make a black and white quilt.

Your addition of red and white sure is fresh with the orange. Tell your son he "done good."

I've never been an orange person either, but that's great--and so trendy with Pantone saying "Tiger Lily" is THE color this year!
