    Growing on me

    Oct 14, 2011

    I tried to go a little out of my color comfort zone on this one…so I threw in that salmon color and I wasn’t so sure about it.  Now I think I like it though.  It’s more mild than using red…and not too orange either. 
    This (of course) was my quilt inspiration.

      I love that colour in there, it really 'pops' as they say and gives the quilt a lift. It's when we leave our comfort zone we learn new and exciting stuff!

      There are some really pretty corals in the "Flora" line by Lauren & Jessi Jung...they also do the same kinda thing as orange or red but are just more soothing.

      This is quilt is wonderful! Love the concept of that additional triangle in each block. Did you end up paperpiecing those blocks? I'd love to make something similar for my newest grandson:)

      I love it! It could easily be fore a boy or girl, because the color is not too much. It is a darling quilt! Its fun to step out of your "color" comfort zone sometimes! My favorite quilt was one I didn't want to make because it was all neutrals, whites, creams, tan, but it turned out so beautiful!

      I love the salmon ... it gives the pop to your quilt, like the red binding does in your inspiration quilt.

      I think the salmon adds an element of surprise as all the blues/greys/greens have the same feel--the hue of the salmon keeps your eye moving---it's great!

      I'm like the above person, that salmon is beneficial to the quilt. Children love those bright colors and whoever gets this one will be a lucky winner. Congrationulations to a super pretty quilt.
