My friend has purchased a winter home in Arizona, she likes sunset colors, suggestions please for a table runner or centerpiece pattern and colors that would work well to make for her.

When I was in Arizona the sunsets were beautiful; light golden, pinks and purples on a blue background. Because its for your friend, I would use the friendship star as the pattern with half triangle points around the edge. You could put an applique of a small lizard - southwest good luck

Kooklabell is right! Arizona does have the most vibrant and beautiful sunsets. I happen to live in the Phoenix area and have attached a couple of pictures to show what our typical sunsets are like. For colors, it depends on where your friend's winter home is located. Sunsets in the Tucson area have lots of aqua and sapphire hues along with beautiful pinks and coral; Phoenix and northern areas have vibrant reds, orange and pinks. I've attached a couple of pictures that may give you some inspiration.

Northcott currently has a line of fabrics that are shimmery and in the right colours. I'm using it right now against a black background on a quilt. They are gorgeous. See: http://www.northcott.com/?sid=2&layo...1&colorid=1076
