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
What would you pair our solid of the day with???
And would you like to win one yard of it?
Here's how to do that.

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.
This print would be great for making kids stuff for Christmas!
I'd love to pair it with the funky colorful fabric for some bold work!
It will go well with Ikebana by Dear Stella Fabrics too!
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.
What would you pair our solid of the day with???

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what the second entry part means. "For extra entries, you can post links to photos clicked by you with the Color of the Day in it.

.... If I'm clicking on a photo it is by definition someone else's photo. They took it and posted it, I clicked on it. I guess I don't understand what's being asked. If you could clarify I would appreciate it. An example would be great. Thanks!
Here are some blocks I made that have Avocado in them (the green solid)
