When it comes to quilting, there are colors we adore to use and then there are colours we seldom, if ever, use. I used to do that all the time, whenever I'd start a new project and in my head, I'd go through blues, whites, reds and pinks each time without exception.
These were always my favorite colours to work with. What I didn't consider was whether my projects would look great in colors other than this. It was just recently that I've stared to feel like I was getting stuck in a rut.
After sitting and thinking about what I could do to get out of it, I realised that I never actually considered using other colors. Well, I was going to rectify that!
Straight after that, I decided to start a new colour I hadn't used before. After some thought, I decided that my next quilt would be a green quilt.
I tell you what, that was one of the best calls I had made in a while. While I made quilts in other colors, there were such a lot of different quilts that worked better as green quilts.
It was also very easy to come up with new quilt ideas based around that colour. I started off with just simple green patterns and then moved on to quilts that had plant motifs and even made a clover themed quilt as a tongue in cheek joke present for an irish girl-friend of mine. We both had a good giggle and it still remains one of her favorite quilts today.
I should know, it was covering her bed the last time I went over there.
While there are a lot of other things you can do with this color, a green quilt will not just stand out from other quilts, its certain to be a favourite amongst your collection. So give it a go today!
