Home Sweet Studio
After a weekend on the road, I'm back in the studio today, pondering my options on what I thought was a finished flimsy.
Tropical Trellis |
First is this teal diagonal stripe.
The teal picks up the darker parts of the print in the star center and brings it out to the edge.
Second is this hazy purple that brings out the purple figure in the white background.
Or a combination of both -- narrow teal stripe inner and 4" purple outer ...
I tested a dark purple and felt it was too heavy. Suggestions?
Take a look at Patchwork Times to see what other quilters are pondering this week.
I like the combo of both. It brings out the colors super nice! Laura V. ninepatch@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI like your third option -- narrow teal with a wider purple.
ReplyDeleteI love the combo, my second choice would be just the purple.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful quilt top.
I love the combo too!
ReplyDeleteI like the both together - I'm greedy that way!
ReplyDeleteLove the combo of turquoise and purple. Doris dmiller124@att.net
ReplyDeleteI agree with the other comments--definitely the combination of both fabrics.

ReplyDeleteYep...i agree on the combo. Love the design.
ReplyDeleteI agree, you should do the combo.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the combo. This is a really pretty quilt. Is there a pattern? Lovely work. Sara in AL @ohsirius7@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI agree with the consensus: the combo, best I can tell from the pictures. Will I see this at the retreat? Sharon B in Franklin?
ReplyDeleteI like the narrow teal, wide purple. But I wouldn't be surprised if you do something completely different!
ReplyDeleteI too love the teal and purple combinations. I love purple and this would be MY taste, but if the quilt were for someone else, you might consider what their color preferences might be. Maybe small purple and larger teal. You can't go wrong with these colors.
ReplyDeleteI like the combination of the two. Maybe trying a narrower width with the dark purple would work. I had some of that dark purple with the medium moon design. I'm always excited to find a scrap I can use again. Yours is a lovely project. Sandi
