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.

I love this just exactly the way it is! It was destiny that the orange took center stage!

About a decade ago, I went thru a similar phase & made something like 6 peach quilts in a row! Needless to say, that cured me... LOL!

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!!
