For this month’s color palette post, we are using a photo I took on a cruise of a Mediterranean Sea sunset. This photo seemed apt as I told the story of my lost luggage before we departed on the cruise (missed the story – sign up for my newsletter and you get access to the archives). As I did in the other color palette posts, I will show the photo, give a small blip of where the photo was taken, pick 5 to 7 colors from the photo to make a color palette, and suggest the coordinating color wheel solid fabrics from Connecting Threads. So without further ado, let’s get started!
While posted in Germany, it was relatively easy to take a cruise in the Mediterranean Sea. We started in Rome, went down the Italian coast, headed over to Greek and Turkish islands, and ended in Athens. It was the last family trip we took before our oldest headed off to university. This photo was taken as we headed down to the Amalfi coast. This photo has fewer colors than some of the previous color palettes. The bright yellow of the sun, two shades of orange from the sunset, purple at the sky line, and blue from the sea.
For the color palette, I choose the following Connecting Threads color wheel solids. You can click the circles below or search the Connecting Threads website for each color.
In addition to the solids, Connecting Threads has fabrics with designs using the solid as the base color. I will highlight a couple fabric patterns below. Searching the color name is easiest to see all the pattern options.
I hope you enjoyed the Cruise Sunset quilt color palette and it provided some inspiration for your next project! I am excited to show you a new color palette next month! To see all the quilt color palettes I have made click here.
