I have been wanting to make a quilt for my daughter and her husband. However she has painted their room a dark teal green. Everything I put beside it doesn't look good and I want to stay away from browns and beige. If it was teal blue it would be wonderful with turquoise but this dark teal green just throws me for a loop. I don't have a pattern in mind either so any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much. Have a great day, early fall up here in Maine :)

A picture of the color would help..??
You could go with monochromes, like blues/greens/ocean colors.
You could go with a color triad- the dark teal with orange and pink.
Lastly, you could go with a split complement: take the 2 colors on either side of the dark teal (I would think blue and green) and use the dark teal's opposite color (peach).
If you used a good variety of shades of each color- regardless of what you make, I think it would be lovely!

How about a Lone Star with gradient shades? This pattern is very easy, it's done with half square triangles. No Y seams.

I have teal carpet in my house, and love it. Teal itself can be hard to match, but I have used pinks and whites as complements. And a bit of lt. coral. Blues and greens also would work very well. Lots of options there!
