Peach and mint green are the colors for a wedding quilt I am doing (those are the wedding colors). I know i can go with white, but any suggestions on a third color to go with those two? I am so bad at putting colors together. I have been sewing for 45 years and probably have made everything there is to make with a needle and thread, so you'd think I'd be great at putting colors together, but I am not! It takes me longer to match colors than it does to make the whole project! 3 hours in Joanns the other day choosing fabric for pillows for my living room. I wanted Turquoise and browns....but what other color...and I came up with silver thanks to a print that had beautiful silver zigzags with turquoise and another with black (wanted brown but they didn't have it!)
Anyway, I am making a wedding quilt and I think burgandy and a shade of green would go with the mint, but not the peach. I dont' like shades of oranges, I dont like orange, so I dont' know (other than brown) what would go with a peach at all! I plan on choosing a block or two and constructing it with blocks but don't know which block yet...this will take me days to choose the right one... I am also bad at finding a block pattern that strikes me! I want unusual, not the ordinary, ergo my problem in finding what I want!
Anyway, I tend to chatter...what goes with peach (other than other shades of orange or brown) and what goes with mint (other than shades of green) IT is a wedding quilt for a early 20's couple (1st cousin, once removed - don't really know them but it is a good reason to make a quilt!) and she is quite the socialite and he is military reserves. THey like wine. The wedding is being held at a winery! Thanks for any suggestions. And if you have a cool block pattern to suggest...please...suggest away!
