Congratulations to winner #161 Becky. Look for an email from me.
I know Bonnie Hunter adds cheddar to hers … and it does pop… but it’s a little overwhelming for me! But I’m not that adventurous with colors, and have a hard time even *wanting* to add pop to things. My poppiest :) is a b&w check with red cherries that I’ve been throwing in from time to time.
Red always adds a pop as does white.
Probably red or orange
Thanks for the chance to win. Those are gorgeous fabrics.
I use bold colours in my quilts so usually find that adding black makes the other colours really pop.
Emerald green.
the color I would use depends on the colors in the quilt…often the opposite side of the color wheel is where I’d look to start.
Well, as a new quilter I can’t answer that question but I think a color to bring out the suttle colors in whatever fabrics I am using..does this even make sense? lol

Thank you for the chance to win such a beautiful fabric!
To make a certain color really pop, I try to use a complimentary color surrounding it. I especially love teal blue and a deep chocolate, or a dark purple with a light green.
I would add red or orange.
I would use yellow or lime green!
Well, that is a hard question to answer, because “it depends”. Basically, I think I’d add something contrasting, either 1. something from the opposite side of the color wheel or 2. a warm color to a quilt with predominately cool colors or a cool color to a warm color quilt.
Yes, it depends on the quilt, for example if I were using those beautiful hand dyes you are giving away, I might use white.
I would add orange! Orange makes anything pop! And it’s my favourite colour hehehe
I would add either black or white since it does draw the eye. Of course, I might also do a nice darker yellow as well.
Orange or lime green would be my choices. They really pop and I use them a lot.
I’m thinking Orange!

It would depend on the quilt. I would use something opposite on the color wheel usually.
To add a little pop I usually use something close to the colors but not so close that it gets lost. If using the colors above I’d put a loud purple or silver.
I would use purple. It’s a standout color.
Since I tend to use a lot of blues, I would use a nice pop of chrome yellow!
It’s complementary color on the color wheel. Thanks for the giveaway!
It would really depend on the colors in the quilt. I would probably go with a complementary color.
I’ve done a couple quilts lately that have had orange/tangerine in and it does make it pop!
Hehe pink pink! Oh how I love a nice pastel pink! It’s oh so cute! And Thanks so much for the post ^^
Beautiful fabric! I think orange stands out since it’s a bit out of the ordinary.
orange and lime green are my favorites.
I would make a quilt pop by adding either yellow or orange, sparingly!
Tangerine
I am in to yellow for some sizzle!
I love any type of red fabric.
Thanks,
Peggy
It would depend on the quilt but I love a bright turquoise!!!
I like just a touch of bright yellow or orange.
Red. I think it looks fantastic in just about any quilt.
I’d use a bright blue or turquoise to add a pop of colour :)

If the colours are already bright, I would use something neutral like linen or osnaberg to make the bright colours pop
I love to use a bright pink to stand out from everything else!
Yellow, red, blue, grey, white, orange, teal…..so many choices!
Thank you for the opportunity(;
Thank you for a lovely give away! I need always some white, but if that doens’ count as a colour then some drops of orange are also needed!
I think red is a good pop color. But I guess it really depends on the quilt.
It depends a lot on the color scheme, but I like strong colors like yellows or oranges.
The first color that comes to mind is red, but it does not always match the rest. I believe that a complimentary color can really make the rest stand out. Sometimes, all it needs is a little white. Those fabrics are gorgeous!!!!!!!
I love a pop of color. I think either red or yellow would wake things up. Yummy fabrics in your giveaway. Thanks.
I like to add red to my projects to give a pop to them. And sometimes I use a bright white on white!
BRIGHT pink!
I would had a bright Hawaii ocean blue!
I would use a pink fabric! It works with almost everything and it makes it pop! By the way it´s my favorite among all colors. ;-)
Red. Thanks for doing this giveaway! :)
I usually add yellow. thanks for the chance to win the beautiful dyes.
A good color is white
I love the way black looks with a quilt that uses bright colors. Thank you for the giveaway.
