    With the right mixers it would look stunning.

    I LOVE it! Too bad I didn't have it when making my "mostly" orange pinwheel quilt.

    I like it! Orange, yellows & greens are really hot colors right now with kids! My granddaughter just requested a new quilt with those exact colors! I love the whole color scheme! Makes you feel like summer is here!!

    It would be fantastic for some fussy cut shapes, it is wild but a lot of possibilities

    I like it ... could be harder to use but I can see it in a large-block quilt or it would be great for a beach tote, table runner or such :)

    With all of those answers, I don't think my answer will "break the tie" (LOL) but I LOVE it! I can see it bringing a definite brightness to an African quilt I intend to make this summer/winter???? I would prefer it with browns and rusts and blacks rather than in the collection you have with it. Thanks for asking us! You are the best!

    It would go with deep gold and lighter gold. I would probably want to use it in blocks no larger than 4" or thin border and binding. I would also think an orange batik would work with this.
