    I think you could safely mix the two, but if you are hesitant for any reason, pick one color and do it in many shades of that colour mixed with a nice white or cream and then use the other color on the back for your backing.

    For fun - I would use both colors and maybe white, for elegant I would use one color with white. That's just my thought at least at this moment!

    I would use both colors because I love turquoise & coral together. The white background is a good choice.

    these colors must be the ones this year. Our grandson and his fiance have chosen them along with taupe as their colors.

    I totally agree! I LOVE their lines! Lots of turquoises! I have a charm pack and a layer cake in 'Scrumptious' calling to me!

    If the two colors bother you, how about putting one color on the front and the other on the back

    Coincidence - after reading this I was in Pictures and clicked on "Finished and Ready To Go" and there's a really pretty quilt in turquoise and coral fabrics. Take a look - the combination is really lovely.
