When it comes to quilting, there are colors we love to use and then there are colours we rarely, if ever, use. I used to do this 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 good in colors other than this. It was only recently that I have began feeling 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!
Shortly after that, I determined to start a new quilt with a color I had not used before. After some deliberation, I made a decision 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 number of other things you can do with this colour, a green quilt will not only stick out from other quilts, its sure to be a favorite among your collection. So give it a go today!
