It depends on the colors used in the quilt itself. White sometimes does it or a bright color that’s not a main color used in the color scheme.
I think I would add a punch of yellow to the mix not a bright one but a mottled one.
I would use orange for pop.
I like to use Red for pop
I love a deep golden yellow for pop, or a bright hot pink, depending, of course, of the other colors.
From the selection above, the easy pop is pink. However, I’m partial to teal and would make that work into some sort of zing. Thanks for the giveaway!
I like to add a touch of red, even if it’s just quilting with a heavier red thread.
I would use a some turquoise, it fits well with most other colors and brightens up the whole quilt!
In a quilt with modern theme I’d add silver with a metallic sheen. In a vintage quilt I would add yellow/gold/cheddar. It all depends on the other colors in your quilt.
I think a yellow would make it pop!
I think a nice lavender purple or sunny yellow depending on the fabric and design. Both are very calming and uplifting to me!
I usually add yellow or lime green if I want to brighten up a quilt.
It would depend on the quilt but I think that red if it works adds pop to anything.
I like to add a bright lime green or yellow to make a quilt pop – especially if it has a dark background. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your wonderful giveaway!
I love the pink but I think I would use the teal or purple in my next quilt .
Thank you for the chance for this give away.
I would add dark purple/black to make batiks pop. Black always makes colors pop, but it shouldn’t be used too strongly.
Gold or yellow gives a pop to any quilt. Whenever I have a quilt that lacks a wow I ad yellow and it works every time.
I usually find that a citrus color works: depending on the circumstances, a yellow or lime, maybe an orange?
A pop would normally be yellow or red.
How about bubblegum pink?
A bright yellow or orange always gives a pop.
Ooh, yummy! To give pop, I’d add yellow. Thanks for the giveaway, Mishka!
I would choose an off-white hand dyed fabric because it not only makes the colors pop but it’s also very summer-like!
I think it’s a good choice because other more bright colors would take all the attention away from the beautiful ones shown in the picture…
Red is my favorite color, so if it would match the quilt I’d definitely use red! Thanks for the opportunity to win such a great giveaway! I love those fabrics! :)
I always think adding a shot of lime is just the pop most quilts need!
All of the colors!
Any of your fabric would give that extra special to a quilt! Thanks for the chance of winning.
I absolutely love those fabrics! To add color for pop, it would depend on the quilt. For a balck and white quilt I usually add red, however on other quilts, my favorite color is yellow, however I am hand piecing a quilt right now and the popping color is blue and purple.
I choose purple when I want some bling. This royal color usually adds just what the quilt needs. I am finishing an autumn quilt where I added a little purple here and there. Really made it POP!
Thanks for the chance at the give away!
Hugs, Deborah
I add some POP to my quilts I usually will add yellow or a few pieces of orange. That will make just about any quilt pop. But again it all depends on what colors are in the quilt as to which color to add for the POP effect.
To add some pop to a quilt, a bit of spicy orange or sunny yellow always seems to do it for me.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway.
Well it all depends on what the quilt tells me it needs. Lol. But my answer is likely ORANGE. I adore oranges…..especially a piece that has bits of cheddar yellow and runs through the orange on its way to a brilliant flame red.
Lime Green…. today.
I’ve found that black really makes bright colors pop. But also a little yellow or a brighter green pops too
to add some pop? Yellow (my favorite colour!), or use black as background to make all the rest pop!
oops, forgot to say–WOW, those hand-dyes are gorgeous! They would make an awesome statement and pop all their own!
I’m in a rut I guess, but I virtually always use some shade of RED.
I would say red or orange…but it really would depend on the other colors in the quilt.
I think a dash of yellow or gold helps a quilt pop.
Thanks for a chance at those beautiful dyed fabrics!
I think bright yellow or a bright pink is just the pop needed on my quilts.
Thanks!
Thanks for the giveaway! I always add red or yellow!
Depending on the colors of the quilt, I would use something unexpected. For example, if the quilt is mostly blues, maybe an orange may work…
Yummy – those are my favourite colours (minus the red!) Beautiful hand-dyes, Michelle. The colour I’d use to pop a quilt depends on what colour palette I’ve chosen. I’ll try to find an obscure colour in the print fabric I’ve chosen – always a bright one – and then use that for a zinger; piped edging, or an accent block. I don’t chose that fabric until I have my top together, and then I go looking for a colour that will add that ‘something extra’ to the quilt!
To add pop to a quilt I would use Hot Pink this is my first visit to your site and I have just signed up for your newsletter thanks for the chance to win these beautiful fabrics .
Red always makes a great pop of color.
I really depends on the main portion of the quilt. If it is mostly dark then a lighter color could really punch up the quilt, but if it is a lighter quilt then maybe a darker color would add the punch of color it may need.
These are gorgeous! I like to add red or yellow to a quilt. Thanks for the giveaway!
usually add some red, yellow or orange, depending on the basic colors used. love your hand dyes! adding some of those colors will add pizzazz to any quilt. thanx for the chance to win them.
• • • I like to use red!
I like a sunny yellow – it is neutral, and since most of my stuff is for kids I try and stay away from pinks and blues unless you know for sure it is for an boy or girl.
