I LOVE playing with color, and it's most exciting to me when I get to play with color in the form of skeins of embroidery floss. From time to time I put together palettes of floss colors to share, and my latest is based on the colors in a fabric line called Little Miss Sunshine.
This charm pack of fabric called to me with its cheery colors, sweet florals, and some stripes. Oh, and there are a few fabrics with hexagons. I love hexagons.
Not every fabric line makes a good embroidery color combination, but this one was just right. Seven main colors (you could add white in there too), and they work well all together (I think they'd look great on this pattern) or in smaller groupings. Here are a few of those based on specific fabrics from this pack...
Aren't these beautiful fabrics? You can see why I had to pull colors to go with them!
I hope that this palette is helpful to you, and if you're a fabric
Do you enjoy choosing colors? What's your favorite source of color inspiration?
I agree the fabrics and floss combinations are lovely, but what will you do?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! I look to mother nature for color inspiration. She does a pretty good job with flowers :)
