When doing a quilt that has shading into another color, would you do the pink before the red or in between the red and orange?? I have a deep dark burgundy red and then an orange and yellow, green, blue, etc. just not sure where my pink would fit in. Also what about black brown and whites??
When I first read your post I thought ombre

I would say before the red, like in between the burgundy and red.
I like that. It's not a traditional "rainbow". I may do something like that instead....Quote:

Coin quilt for my daughter that thinks she's a rainbow. lol
I'll take a picture of the fabrics I bought and post it so you can see them. I know that always helps.... I'm thinking starting at the top and shading down, strips of solids intermingled with my patterned pieces.
Okay, here's what I bought, they all have flowers on them. Tell me what you think, what I need to rearrange, etc. I am open to any suggestion.

Maybe light to darkest instead of color groups?

Maybe this will help....
I think we forgot to ask what pattern you were thinking about. That will help us to help.
Something similar to what you posted in the coin quilt I think.... I need more fabric shades??Quote:

I don't have a color wheel, but I will get one tomorrow (later today?). Thanks.
Another way to arrange them is to take colour out of the equation and sort by "value". Turn your picture black and white and sort that way :) Like so:

Now sort from lightest to darkest :D That's what the "Ruby Beholder" does (there's another tool that I don't remember) and some people swear by that for picking fabric colours. I always just take a black and white picture with my phone and judge that way, no extra tools or gadgets required!
That really does work!!! Now to figure out how to turn the camera from color to black and white.
Here's another way to get a rainbow with out to much effort. You will have to get more fabric or use your stash for it. I saved this one because it was bright and cheerful and wanted to remember it. I wouldn't use fruit though, lol

Here is how I would line them up. Starting with the light pink as #1:
1, 2, 12, 5, 4, 7, 6, 8, 9, 3, 10, and 11.
It is not as much of a rainbow, but to me the colors would flow better.
After much thought to post his, but I'm not getting rainbow from your fabrics. It's just not clicking rainbow to me.
Me either. I'm starting over lol. I'll throw this to the side and come back to them later.Quote:
