I finished the last of the Orange Strip Donation blocks over the weekend. I am pretty pleased with how the blocks look together. As I said in another post, I like the way the color of these oranges look together. They aren’t too garish and are a bit softer, like a Creamsicle look.
I haven’t decided on fabric for the background. Tim gave me a beige-y biscuit color, but I don’t think I want to ruin the cheerful look of the oranges. I wanted a Creamsicle (yes, I am on a binge with that word today) solid, but don’t see one in all the color cards I have. I am going to rummage through my orange bin and see what turns up. I am not adverse to using different fabrics for the background, though I think a solid or tone on tone would be best.
It wouldn’t be a cream-cycle look, but a deep soft brown would pair nicely with those oranges. Perhaps a bright yellow or lime green would make it more summery. Navy blue would give it that cheddar and blue look that seems to be popular these days too.
I probably didn’t help much and just gave you too many more ideas. lol I’m looking forward to seeing your final choice.
You were correct in getting me to look at some other colors. Check the blog for a new color scheme in a few days.
