Thank you again for your warm reception to The Tempest! We hope the very specific color guidelines will enable you to create the dramatic, contemporary quilt you desire to make.
What if you like the quilt, but are not a "purple person"...what to do? How would you feel if we gave you the same guidelines, but with different color options? What color options would you be interested in?
Here are some colors that I've been playing around with...what do you think?
BLUE
BROWN
PINK
ORANGE
Same exact quilt, same number of fabrics - completely different looks.
What would work best in your world? Can't wait to hear what you think!

Love all but the brown... but I am just not a brown person. I especially love the blue.

I was going to say orange because I love orange, but I'm not sure I want a nearly completely orange quilt, although I certainly have the quantity of fabric to make one! Aqua/turquoise maybe...

I'd love to see this done in the pink version....
Posted by: VickiB | July 11, 2010 at 03:56 PM
The blue is dramatic and beautiful, but I just love the purple!

The blue is simply wonderful! I think that is my favorite.

The orange one really speaks to me. BUT, being me, I'd have to add a bit of black, navy and intense red with just a touch of blue. Love the design - wonderful!

I'll take one of each! lol It's funny how just switching color gives each such a different look. I was thinking of making one with gray tones--maybe with the little blocks in b&w or in brights.

Love the brown ... perfect for a man. But where's the Green????
Posted by: sandy | July 11, 2010 at 05:36 PM
Blue, pink and the orange!
Posted by: Mary Ann | July 11, 2010 at 06:49 PM
Oooh! I LOVE the Orange!
Posted by: Hollie | July 11, 2010 at 08:55 PM
The blue and the pink both jumped at me. Love 'em.
Posted by: Jan | July 11, 2010 at 08:59 PM
Purple is great! Love the blue too = and the orange!

I'm not really a brown person, but I REALLY like all three of the others
Posted by: PioneerValleyGirl | July 11, 2010 at 09:31 PM
In an orange phase lately so the orange blend was certainly my favorite though they are all great combo's!

Really like all of these and seeing the creative color options but I love the blue - what colors did you use? My granddaughter would love the pink!
Posted by: PaulaK | July 11, 2010 at 11:13 PM
Love, love, love the orange!
Posted by: Cheryl Arkison | July 11, 2010 at 11:28 PM
Pink is my favorite color, and I love the brightness and warmth of orange, but if I had to choose from these four quilts, I would definitely go for the blue one. I don't know why, because blue is not my color, but it somehow has the best balans and soft contrast in the solids.

oh oh oh!!! I totally want to do the orange one (it's my fave colour) and I just checked with the usually conservative husbeast, and said "I could live with that, it's very nice" - high praise indeed! Am about to get stuck into a City News quilt, but this would be next!
Posted by: Kellie | July 12, 2010 at 04:06 AM
The orange and the blue are my favorites.
Posted by: Debbie - Esch House Quilts | July 12, 2010 at 07:08 AM
Um, what if I like all of the different colorways?!?! This is a problem... ;-) OK, I can narrow it down a little and take out the blue version. That leaves me three... hee hee Love them all! How great to show us how different the quilt can look!
Posted by: amy | July 12, 2010 at 07:58 AM
Those are great! It's wonderful to see them with different colors. I'm sure an aqua and a green version would be great, too!

Brown yes, I like brown. Blue yes. Orange, wow!
How about green? Loud acidy apple greens or soft sagey greens.
Cheers,
AJ

What about green!
Posted by: Lesly | July 13, 2010 at 08:45 PM
OMG - I never thought my fingers would type this word, but ORANGE!!!!! Gorgeous.
Posted by: Krista - Poppyprint | July 13, 2010 at 09:01 PM
The blue one is my favorite.
Posted by: Becky in Georgia | July 14, 2010 at 08:07 AM
Are you going to offer the color number list? I just received the pattern - thanks. My favorite is the orange - hands down!
Posted by: Gale | July 16, 2010 at 01:21 PM
Cherri, my husband shocked me the other day when he said quietly "where's my quilt?
I think I need to make him one, and I think he'll just love this design. I'm going to make it in blues, using paler baby blues for the little bits, and a range of rich blues for the squares.
