Bella Parade '13 : Post # 2

Good morning and welcome back!!! Here's another colorful day ahead!!!

Do you want to know what was yesterday's Color?

Well, it was Acid Green

Did you get it right???

Well, about today's color, here it is

And here are the 3 hints to guess the name :
1. Its the name of a fruit
2. _ v _ _ a _ _
3. There is also a place by the same name in California

I had a lot of  fun playing with color combinations for this one here!

First, a monochromatic scheme, combined once again with with light lime but with a different dark solid - Pine. I love the effect they have together!

And to make a  complementary scheme, I'd love to pair it with Brick Red

To be a little more creative, I'd go with a moving theme - pairing it with 30's Yellow and Green

 

 Now coming to the interesting part of choosing prints that work with our solid. 

Firstly, it will make a great solid to use for making Christmas stuff! Here are a few of my favorite bundles that you can pair it with.

Ribbons All Wrapped Up by Maywood Studios Fabric

This print would be great for making kids stuff for Christmas!

 Dear Santa by Janet Wecker Frisch for Quilting Treasures 

 I'd love to pair it with the funky colorful fabric for some bold work! 

French Ziggy by French Bull for Windham Fabrics

 It will go well with Ikebana by Dear Stella Fabrics too!

For a more sophisticated look, I'd love to work with
Portico by Dear Stella Fabrics

I think they'll really make a statement together!

If I were to use it for a kids quilt, I'd go with Jazzy Anything Goes Basics by Barbara Jones of Quilt Soup for Henry Glass Fabrics 

It has a lot of movement and color to make little hearts go wild, without screaming - I'm a kids print!

I think Aurifil # 2887 comes closest to this fabric.
