And I'm loving it and can't wait for it to be done and on my bed.
But I keep thinking about "Basket Case" and trying to figure out what colour I'm going to make the background. The hot pink/red on the original in Boo's book is pretty fabulous but I'm SO not a pink person. But then again... maybe I should embrace it?
I've found some pretty awesome finishes of this quilt on Flickr too.
A red one by Ann Read.
A purple one by Whitney Taylor. Radiant Orchid is the Pantone colour of the year for 2014. Food for thought.
Of course I LOVE this blue one by Viv... but it would be a safe choice for me.
Black and grey by sami.sees.quilts -- awesome and suitably gothic.
Totally open to suggestions....

Fast Forward is looking great! As for Basket Case, I do like the purple/Radiant Orchid version...maybe a nice baby step outside your comfort zone and toward a pink tomorrow? ;)
ReplyDeletemaybe... My other thought was maybe electric blue? Or orange? This might be a hard one. Something edgy would be good. Maybe a bunch of neon-ish colours all mixed together in an 80s homage?
DeleteDoes the quilt have a purpose or destination? If so, maybe that's your colour direction. If it's for fun and for you, skip the pink. Why sew with a colour you're meh about... the blue looks lovely. Lime green and black would be cool too.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is definitely for me; either bed or couch. My whole apartment is filled with turquoise, orange and grey/black. But it's starting to look a little matchy-matchy. Lime green is a good thought :)
