    The Pizza Girls have a pattern called Hollyhocks that would look good in shades of salmon. Although I do like the southwestern idea with turquoise.

    tropical sunset, if you're doing a scenic wall hanging? You could applique silhouettes of palm trees in black as they'd be backlit by the sunset. I also love Kathy's suggestion of tulips.

    We are doing the challenge with 3 colors plus addition of another color if you choose. PLUS you have to do something to represent your 3 initials. Can be a quilting technique, design or something else, My mind is still thinking. I got orange,mink and blueberry.

    I thought of a sunset type of landscape wallhanging.

    This is the Poppy panel fabric I mention in my earlier post.

    Each panel is about 3"x7.5" I bought the fabric at Joann's
    a couple years ago.

    I was just noticing where you are from. I think an empty, tied up salmon colored boat on a dock with the background of the lake shore in the distance would be pretty and something the gals in your area could relate to and enjoy.

    The first thing that came to mind was the beach. I love to hunt for seashells and many shells have salmon in them.

    I have also seen a sunset in which the color salmon was predominant in the skyline.

    My last thought was a flower garden or pot. There are many shades of salmon color flowers.

    Have fun with your challenge and tell us what you decide.

    poppies are a great idea for a wall hanging, I'm sure there are many shades .. then you could add little touches of black, yellow, and cream.

    I have been making silhouette wallhangings - 14 to 18 inches in size. You could you use graduated strips of pale to dark salmon, cutting your strips in varying widths from 3/4", 1", 1 1/2", 2" and do the sew and flip method. either put a small border or just bind it.For silhouette, I used pictures from a coloring book, cut design out of black fabric & stitched close to edge all around. They were fun to do.
