Probably red or maybe black… depends on the rest of the quilt
I would use yellow or orange. :) Good “pop” colors!
Red usually pops really well!
a bright color that is present in the pattern fabrics but is in a small amount to really bring it out
My pop color depends on the quilt itself but usually I prefer something opposite.

yellow is a nice poppy color :)
for pop? Depends on the colors, but I love orange and yellow!

hot pink or black! or both!
I use a little red to make it pop, but my favorite as long as it plays well with the other colors is lime green. It’s more playful. Thank you.

I guess it depends on the quilt – probably red or orange! Thanks for the giveaway – your fabrics are beautiful!!
It depends!
Usually lime green or orange!
I think that white always adds a great pop to a quilt.
berry like color or lime green
It really depends, but white makes whatever you’re using pop.
I am a lover of all things grey right now!
A splash of orange works for me. Thanks for the chance to win.
I think yellow ads pop. But so can red. Depending on the color combination. Thanks!
I add a small amount of cheddar yellow to add pop to my quilts!
I would use orange or lime green.
Those fabrics are stunning! Adding POP to a quilt depends on the other colors being used. You may need black to make the others pop, or you may need a pop of yellow on a blue quilt. I think the pop is all about getting someone to look at your quilt and either want to snuggle with it, or make one like it.
I like adding white or black to some fabrics to outline them
It would depend on what color the rest of the quilt was, but I recently added some sort of mustard-y fabric to a mostly teal project which was really nice. (The mustard fabric also had some teal in it, so it wasn’t totally out of the blue!)
I will use Black!
white
That really depends on the colors of the quilt. Using black as a background can really make colors pop.
I have added yellows and oranges for an extra splash of color…
I like oranges and yellows for extra color. And i love me some crazy patterns
I like to add some purple. Purple always stands out!
I think I would add black which would make everything else pop! Thanks for the chance at this beautiful fabric!
Bright yellow or white.
Orange is my pop color, also my favorite color!
I would add red. Thanks for the giveaway.
YELLOW is the color that pops for me!
I would use purple and yellow. Thank you for this Giveaway!
God Bless
I love adding a bit of yellow to a quilt – it really does make the other quilt colors pop. I love the purple hand dyes particularly and yellow would be stunning with it.
Thanks for the chance to win such wonderful fabrics.

To add some pop to a quilt it would have to depend on the colors already in the quilt…usually something a little lighter but in the same range cool or warm, like a lime green or orange/yellow, sometimes even a white will pop it…definitely has to complement the other colors though. Thanks for the giveaway!
It all depends what I am working with….but sometimes it can be the unexpected one that does not yet occur in the rest of the design!!!!
Purple, I love anything bright purple for pop.
I’d add Red! Depends on what I’m making….I LOVE BRIGHT colors!
Thanks for chance to win! :)
It really depends on the colours in the quilt. My recent pink and brown quilt had green added in…
Perhaps red to make it pop!
I like to use red or orange.
Depends on the quilt. If I’m using solids I go for black.
An off-white/cream is good too.
I’m new to quilting, so I’m not sure, but I do love fresh, citrus green. I bet I’ll find a way to work that into a quilt somewhere!
Yellow is a great color to make a “pop”. Thanks for the lovely giveaway
WOW – love your fabrics – they are so beautiful :-)

Sorry – but forgot to answer you question on my first reply….

Think black would have been great.
I love using something unexpected, although the last quilt I did looked so much better when I used white to make the rest of the colours pop. Thanks so much for the chance to win – your fabrics are beautiful, especially the purple!
The unexpected color – a bright yellow or lime green!
