    Default Looking for suggestions

    The guild I am in is having a challenge. We each had to select a crayon from a brown bag and now we have to make a wallhanging with that color predominantly noticeable in the project. My color was salmon. Would love to have some suggestions on what comes to mind when you think of the color salmon that would be doable for a wallhanging.

    I have some fabric panels that is poppies (I think), or at least
    flowers and the the main color is a medium salmon color.

    Will post a picture tonight when I get home if you're interested
    in seeing what it looks like.

    I am doing the same challenge in my guild. I got brown and thought of pairing it with pink or salmon. Maybe do a fancy cut work heart or Celtic design

    Salmon usually looks nice with turquoise and white. Something southwestern would work with those colors.

    I can see a wall hanging with appliqued flowers either all blooms same soft salmon or different shades
    of salmon (not orange looking colors)

    Our guild did the crayon/brown bag thing, but we pulled THREE crayons from the bag and had to use all three plus any one other color of our choice = less than 1/3 of the overall quilt. You should have hear the groans of dismay and disgust at some of the color combinations!! Yet the resulting quilts were amazing!!

    My first thought was tulips! Various light to dark salmon plus another color with green stems.
    Here is a tutorial for a wall-hanging:
