it was supposed to be pink & black- but the fabulous orange fabrics kind of took over- my
'quilt police hubby' informed me- if i had bordered it in pink it would not have turned into an orange quilt![Wink](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/wink.png)
of course---but i loved the border fabric- and it is what it is

I have this quilt loaded & am in the process of quilting it now- i'm using orange thread on the top- have a pink/red/orange hand dyed backing which i am using a veriegated red on the back.

Me, too. My BFF LOVES orange & I've always wanted to make her an orange quilt (even bought some FABULOUS orange fabric for one a couple of years ago), but just never could make myself do it. These are really inspiring, tho. Hmmm... one more thing on my ever-expanding to-do list? LOL!

Pantone is the group that decides the "color of the year." And you're right; it's a tangerine tango is the orange this year!!

Someone PM'ed me asking what pattern I used up there for my cousin's orange quilt:
It's called Gemini.
