    Default Help choosing colors.
    I need help choosing colors for a two color modern quilt. While I love black and white, what other two color combinations do you like for modern quilts?

    Cream and a rich deep blue, or maybe crimson. They would be great.

    Black and hot pink. Black and bright, teal blue. Black and vivid apple green. I think I see a black quilt in my future...

    Orange and turquoise?

    I like greens and blues together, and pinks/oranges/reds.

    I love them all mentioned above, especially the black with brights of any color.

    Thanks! Black is always fun for quilts, but I was looking for ideas to get me to go outside my comfort fabrics. Lol
