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 favourite colors to work with. What I did not consider was whether my projects would look nice in colours other than this. It was in recent times that I started feeling like I was getting stuck in a groove.
After sitting down and considering what I could do to get out of it, I realized that I never really considered using other colours. Well, I was going to change 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 finest decisions I had made in a while. While I made quilts in other colours, there were so many 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!
