Radiant Orchid, this year's Pantone color of the year plays perfectly with Bright Fuschia.  These power house colors are offset by the soft and warm Natural.  Navy grounds the whole thing and keeps it from floating away.

I know brown isn't big in the modern quilting movement but there is just something I really love about a good brown/natural off-setting some good, bright colors.  What are your thoughts on the color brown?

  1. Brown can be the perfect color sometimes. I do tend to stay away from it (and pink and red...), but it really is just a warmed up neutral that can mix in brilliantly.
