    Default What goes with peach and mint green?

    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!

    Royal purple goes dramatically and nicely with both. I wouldn't normally think that myself but I saw a quilt with those colors being pieced at the LQS Friday night and it was really pretty.

    A pale teal or aqua would look nice, especially if you are going for all soft colors.

    I was also thinking cream. But if you wanted to add a spark of color you could go with a fushia or a any color with a mix of orange and pink but as a bright.

    Throw the peach & mint out the window and go with a nice print with wine & grapes and then coordinate the other colors from the print. The wedding colors are a nice thought, but from what you said in a previous post, they are really wine enthusiasts. There will be plenty of reminders of their wedding colors in other gifts and the photographs. This also means you don't have to sew with orange, I mean peach.

    When you said those colors I immediately remembered coming across this blog post a while back and loving this color combination! This fabric bundle is super modern, and the colors all go really well with each other. Can't wait to see what you decide!
