The articles and recipes were interesting, but what I really gleaned from these magazines were some fun color combinations for future quilts.
Turquoise, lime green and yellow (with a touch of tomato red):
Lime green, hot pink and yellow:
Turquoise, orange and hot pink.
What color combinations are inspiring you this summer?
These are some great ideas. I've also seen some amazing color palettes over at http://theperfectpalette.blogspot.com/. It's mainly for weddings, but I keep seeing lots of other ideas in the colors too!
ReplyDeleteUmmm... black and white today. ;)
ReplyDeleteI have that BHG magazine and am planning a quilt based on the cover too! I hadn't seen the GH mag but have already completed a wall quilt using orange, hot pink and turquoise. You can check it out (Citrus Carolina) on my blog.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your quilt projects!
I vote for all of the above! Bright and cheery.

I'm totally in love with aqua blue and orange right now. I can't get enough of it!
ReplyDeleteThats one source of inspiration that I have never even considered before. My favorites right now are hot pink and orange.
ReplyDeleteUm. If "stretchy pant" were a color that'd be my choice. I am living in Stretchy this summer.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to find color inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post!
ReplyDeleteWhen someone has trouble picking colours I often say to look at the media because they usually get it right.
