I have patio cushions those colours with some black added in. I have been wanting to make a quilt using those colours. I would love to see what you do.
Nice! My dishes are plain (off) white. I thought it would be smart to get neutral dishes so I can use them no matter what kitchen decor I have. Meh - BORING.
I always have a hard time coming up with sewing and knitting projects to make for my son... it's far easier when they're younger! those ice cream dishes are great, I especially like the aqua.
I love the top one - it's what I always use at home. I mixed it with a medium blue and off white (plus a couple of pale pink that showed up as replacements for broken bowls)
I just saw in my closet a great color combo for a quilt. I guess the colors you're drawn to are bound to pop up in your closet, your quilts, and even your dishes! Can't wait to see what you do with it! :)
I love these colors too. We just finished our basement and these are the colors of our new family room. I can't wait to see what lovely quilt you make from this new inspiration.
This so interesting because I also get color inspiration from unloading my dishwasher. Just did a post on my dishes. I love to see what combination serendipitously turns up when I take them out.
Neat! I just started a whirligig quilt with those same colors over the weekend. I picked up a great navy blue and white stripe for the backing. I'm doing large-scale whirligigs based on a tutorial for houndstooth blocks from M'liss Hawley's "Fat Quarter Quilts" book. I'm flipping the houndstooth to make the 'gigs. It's a super simple method that has me sewing long strips together and then cutting out the 'gigs. No funny-measuring rectangles required! I've enjoyed reading your blog over the last month -- my thanks for sharing your creativity!
The picture of the bowls caught my eye because I have the same exact ones - in those colors as well as about 8 more. My husband always makes fun of me b/c every time I unload the dishwasher, I arrange the bowls in color combinations for inspiration as well.
i don't know where most of you get your color inspiration, but mine often comes while unloading the dishwasher. 
That's a GREAT color combo. Looks like your dishes could be VERY inspiring!!!:)
ReplyDeleteI love aqua with brown! And white. And red too.

ReplyDeleteTotally. I get inspiration from children's illustrations sometimes.
ReplyDeleteoh this would be a great baby boy quilt.
ReplyDelete{using these colors from the neptune line would be perfect.}
Lovely colors! I guess that makes emptying the dishwasher worth it, right? ;)
ReplyDeletePerfect colors for a quilt! I thought I was the only one who looked to dinnerware for color inspiration.
ReplyDeleteooh, love those bowls! beautiful colors and shape!
ReplyDeleteI love that color combo! I have the same experience with my dishes. Although, I probably need some neutral dishes also.

ReplyDeleteLovely shades of blue!
one of my favorite color combos...or replace the white with off white or light tan.
ReplyDeletelove the color combo!! and what a great way to get your inspiration, doing a daily chore!! love it!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is funny how we get inspiration. I was driving to work the other day and saw some roses and was totally inspired by them.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right. My color inspiration comes from everywhere and anywhere in the world around me.

ReplyDeleteI agree! I have those latte bowls in aqua and orange and everytime I see them together, I want to make a quilt in those colours!
ReplyDeleteFANTABULOUS color combo! aqua looks good with just about anything, IMO :)

I've had navy on my mind lately too.
