Grays and perhaps some shades of your green with a small pop of black as corner blocks for example. I would stay away from colors in the actual quilt and use throw pillows for your color. Use black frames on your walls and if you have children try framing some of their art work.<br />You have lots of suggestions that run the gamut. Let us know what you choose.<br />Warm New Years Blessings<br />Gmama JaneGmama Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02866486725742104875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-51611406270456449342011-12-27T10:54:30.198-07:002011-12-27T10:54:30.198-07:00Peaches, rust sage, cream- you do need to lighten ...Peaches, rust sage, cream- you do need to lighten and brighten due to the dark rug.

One of my goals for 2012 is to make a king sized quilt for our bed. I started pulling fabric and am trying to stay away from greens. It's a stash buster, so there are all sorts of lines, but I am using a lot of Sandi Henderson Secret Garden and Farmer's Market, some various Patty Young, and some Heirloom from Joel Dewberry.Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17041761241007057305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-87830368583989767092011-12-26T16:15:20.800-07:002011-12-26T16:15:20.800-07:00I'd suggest a package of fabrics, any of their...I'd suggest a package of fabrics, any of their lines, from Fig Tree Designs.

As for my personal colors ideas, I tend to stay away from using large amounts of the colors that are on my walls, so that the whole room isn't the same color. I think I'd audition a light taupe with a medium plum and a little green (as an accent color to tie it together)...
