Bella Parade '13 : Post # 16

You're right folks, yesterday's color was Honeydew!!!


And here's todays!!!

And here're the hints :
1. I am a 2 word name - first word a color and second a fruit!
2. I remind you of Mediterranean dishes!!! I'm healthy too!
3. _ _ E E _               O _ _ _ E

Have you noticed, I usually write the vowels in my hints & hide the consonants? I just noticed it!

 For a monochromatic composition, I'll use it with Sage and Fir


For a complementary scheme, I'll pair it with Purple

For the creative combo, I 'll go with Country Red and Bright Turquoise


And now the prints I'd love to use this solid with!!!

I tried really hard to stick to the modern prints, since a natural inclination was towards the 1800's repro fabrics!

    Here is a photo with a close approximation of Green Olive
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/quilts_by_lisa/9773618384/

    Photo taken on a recent trip to the Smoky Mountains. If this were a quilt I think it would be called "low volume". This bird is very cool looking but what I think is interesting about the photo is the muted colors all except the pop of the olive green plants.
