I’d add the pink
I find some pure black makes the other colors in the quilt light up.
I’d use orange.
I want to try black! Using it to showcase some bright colors, I think it would definitely make them pop!
Thank you!
It depends, but I usually lean towards yellow
I usually pop with red.
POP! I’d add yellow or spring green.
Not red! Definitely not red!
I think it depends on the fabrics already used. Sometimes a solid in a corresponding colour can help the other colours pop. I’m also a firm believer in black, especially if using brights.
I’d use a bright banana yellow to make it pop!
Ik denk dat een mooie lavendel paars of zonnig geel, afhankelijk van de stof en het ontwerp.
Either white or black can give a quilt some pop. Thanks for the chance to win.
Lime green…my all time favorite!
I use teal to make a quilt pop. Thank you for a chance to win .
I love to throw in some bright red or yellow to make a quilt pop!
Hello Michelle,
Thanks for the chance to win your beautiful fabric. I would say it is like gardening, red and yellow roses always stand out in the garden. So red and yellow it is.
Happy days.

Yellow!
I would add some orange or bright yellow!
I would add some turquiose! Of course, that’s if it goes well with the other colors!
I would add yellow or lime green. Thanks for this giveaway, the fabrics are lovely!
I think I would use yellow.
Purple … is there any other color to consider.
I have loved blue green or green blue since I got my first box of crayons & could find a way to use teal in everything, you can’t go wrong with teal!
I look for the “minority” color, most often the “majority’s” opposite. For example, the quilt is mostly yellow and orange…add a yellowed-blue like robin’s egg or tealy-aqua…gives just the right amount of zippity-doo-dah!
Thanks for the chance to win. Lately I’m gravitating toward lime and tangerine.
A lime, robin’s egg blue or yellow!
Love the purple to add “pop” to the jacket I want to make!
I like to use a yellow or lime green to make something stand out.
I would use red or orange. Thanks for the chance to win.
Orange! I love orange. I think I need a new project with a pop of orange!
Orange and purple are great eye poppers for me
I once heard you should add a pop of purple to every quilt. My favorite is a pop of a black & white print.
It really depends on the colour scheme of the quilt, but yellow is generally such a bright and happy colour which will match a lot of colour combinations.
Gosh … it really depends on what’s already being used. Orange or purple are my ‘go to’ colors … but I can see where a lime green would really sizzle, too! :)
With batiks and art fabrics, I like to use black as sashing or borders, it really makes the rest of the colors pop.

I usually find any solid adds a pop when you’re using prints. Lime green is a fun one!
Well, it depends on what other colors I’m using, of course, but I tend towards yellows and oranges or lime green for pops. :)
It all depends on the other colours, but I always like a good bright red!
Definitely depends on the other colors in the quilt. Love a pop of bright in a quilt.
Diría verde lima, turquesa y si no los tengo o no combinan el negro siempre esta a la mano .Gracias por su generoso regalo.
I think my favourite to pop would be turquoise.
A deep shade of red.
I love orange for a pop of color.
Black really makes a standout quilt I think.
I think Red always adds POP! :) Thanks for the chance at this lovely bundle too!
To make a quilt pop I might add a bright color to muted tones. I also like to use black, which can have a dramatic effect. Thanks “sew much” for the chance to win!
Red or yellow. Thanks for the giveaway!
To add pop I always add a bright color, red or yellow.
I would go yellow!
Michele, I love seeing all the new quilts every week – and reading the stories that inspire them! I also love seeing Milo’s adventures & how he’s growing! (never enough puppy pictures!!)
I think the fabrics you’ve offered are simply GORgeous, and that pink is already supplying that pop you were looking for!!
Orange would pop in a lot of color schemes.
