I like it a lot better than guessing :) Computer monitors tend to show colors differently and seeing the colors from the card in both natural and artifical light always helps me. <br /><br />And your quilts will be gorgeous. I already like the color combination ideas and your nephews will love them!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09648673968340281829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650441766408409956.post-72250976992444542132016-10-01T08:42:03.158-07:002016-10-01T08:42:03.158-07:00Did you choose your Kona colors already?

That said, Glacier or Emerald would be my second choice. For navy, I would look at Nightfall. It's a very dark blue. <br />For the golds, Papaya is very bright, and kinda orange. Butterscotch is very muted. Cheddar is almost a pastel of the Papaya. I would also consider Curry and Corn Yellow. <br />The purples is mostly how dark a color you want, except for Hibiscus. That one is much more violet. I'd probably pick purple.<br />Having a card is wonderful! Mine is old, so I'm missing 60 colors. Time for a new card!Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975806548855709834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650441766408409956.post-27005198361477031762016-09-28T22:19:06.301-07:002016-09-28T22:19:06.301-07:00It finally happened, pieced houseboats, love them....It finally happened, pieced houseboats, love them. I miss 25 years in Seattle, but don't worry about the sky color, it really is more often pale. Two great rival teams, how are you going to do it?
