Are you always looking for new ways to mix colors in your quilting projects but need some visual inspiration to help get you started? We’ve rounded up some of the season’s top color trends with perfectly paired project inspiration to help you look at your stash in a whole new way.
A mix of the blue’s calmness and red’s fiery energy, purple’s rarity in nature has given it a supernatural aura, and mystic quality that’s both uplifting and calming. For centuries, deep violets have been used to convey a sense of regalness, and were the top color choice among emperors, popes and other royalty. Lighter purples feel romantic, floral and soft.
