color is fun.

 

Midwest Modern 1 and 2, Dolce, Essential Dots, and American Retro are unified by shades of pink, yellow, and orange.  So happy!
 
We love color.  All kinds of color.  Color everywhere.  A lot of people ask us about mixing up different fabric collections... can you do it?  And we just say, why, of course you can!  The main thing is to keep a tight color palette.  Here are two fun examples we wanted to share you!

Blues and greens and turquoise, with a splash of yellow...
Plain Jane, Mod Girls, Garden Party, Dolce, Love, Bell Bottom, Pretty Please, Park Slope, Darla, Simply Sweet, and Nicey Jane.  Pretty fun, don't you think?!

  
Fabric-mixing like this works really well for home decorating and wardrobe planning.  And for happy scrappy quilts like Eleanor's.  It keeps things from looking too "matchy-matchy"!  We love pulling different bolts off the shelves, just to see what happens.  Want to come over and play color with us?  Do you have a favorite color palette?

love, the Long ladies

I absolutely love pink and lime green. I decorated my room with them, they were my (home)school colors :) - when I graduated, I sewed a hot pink formal dress with a lime green sash!

I love the blue and green you have laid out. And I don't know where you learned to fold fabric so perfectly but come teach me! My favorite color combo is pink and red. Ha! I just looked up at my fabric stash, I see a lot of PINK and RED! Blue and green would actually be a close second.
