I have made lots of quilts with orange in them. I find it is hard to find orange fabrics so when I see something I like, it comes home with me to be part of my stash!
I'm a fan of orange! I didn't used to be, but I've been converted. In fact, a couple years ago I hosted a Flickr Bee called Orange You Glad. 23 awesome qulters, 24 amazing orange quilts!
I've loved orange since about 8th grade, too! After my sister got married, I moved into her room with orange walls and orange shag carpet. I painted a picket fence, tree and flowers on one wall. I love the modern orange prints and have been using them since the year before Tangerine Tango.
I had an orange bedroom too -- the color was named something like "Desert Sunset." My room was in the basement with two tiny windows, so the bright color was necessary.
I like to use orange in my quilts, but not to wear. I remember my Mom was on the roll of making everyone a windbreaker. It is only piece of clothing I still have that my Mom made me growing up. Guess what color it is? Yes, orange! It is a bit faded and too small, but I can't get rid of it.
I absolutely love orange and have for many years. It never goes out of vogue for me.
For me pink was a color that never caught on until a friend of mine who is a designer, opened my eyes to the various color spectrum of pinks. My taste are nearer to the deep color end of pinks.
Yep, I love, love, love orange and have now for quite awhile. It looks great when combined with chartreuse and magenta!
ReplyDeleteI love orange! Especially with pink, in saturated values.
ReplyDeleteI am that old, 61, that I have had far too much orange, but as a color accent it is often good.
ReplyDeleteI love orange…it's such a bright, happy color!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I wish there would be more really strong orange fabrics out there.

ReplyDeleteI used to avoid it but in the last few years have been using and enjoying orange. I like it best as accents, especially with dark blue.

Always loved orange, don't know what the problem is with it. Puts a smile on your face, makes you feel happy.

ReplyDeleteLast year or so I have been picking up and even using a more orange in a lot of my work. I an transiting from yellow s and that was a move from blue.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I don't have a single quilt with orange. I guess I have to change that!

ReplyDeleteI love orange and all of its value/tone/tint cousins. :)
ReplyDeleteI do know (as the previous owner of a quilt shop) that orange (followed by yellow) is the most disliked color, though.
Strong feelings engendered by a strong color.

Orange is one of my favorite colors!
ReplyDeleteone can never have too much bright cheerful orange in one's life, nor in mine as well.

ReplyDeleteOrange is my number one favourite quilting colour -- for Halloween and year round. :-)
