Has anybody made an Orange Quilt?
#1
We just retired built a new home and I started quilting. I've made the small things, like pot holders and small table runners. Now, I'd like to tackle an easy quilt. Our bedroom is plain white walls with bright orange sheer curtains. I'd love to make a quilt with the orange color in it, but don't want it too orange. When the sun shines through the orange curtains, the room is just bright and beautiful. I'd like something tasteful, not gaudy. Do you have any suggestions?

I made it but mine was a bit darker than hers.

I bought some orange and it had like a dark tan leaves in it. It was beautiful fabric. I made it into D9P and love it. I am not a orange person either. But this one would look great. It also has some goldish in it. I would send a picture if I knew how lol.

A part of my stash is bright oranges, yellows and pinks LOL
Yes, I do mean Brights :shock: they almost hurt the eyes, but I intend to use them with some blacks to tone them down :D:D:D

I like the peaches n dreams quilt, but I think I like the idea of fall colors with the green, gold, bronze,brown, yellow colors... I'm going to see what I can find for material on the internet. And try to find a pattern that's not to difficult. Wish me luck on my first quilt.

I have been an orange freak for the last two years. They're just calling to me and I've been answering by adding them to my stash. Try a search for poppies. There are some out there that are just gorgeous - black background, beautiful orange, with some green and metallic gold. Don't know what I'm doing with mine yet, but I'll figure it out someday soon now.
