block suggestion for coleus-colored quilt

    block suggestion for coleus-colored quilt
    on: September 12, 2011, 10:18:48 PM
    I love Coleus plants.  I would like to use plum/maroon/chartreuse colors for a bed quilt.  The colors are inspired by coleus.  (I know there are oranges, yellows, golds, hot pinks out there too, but I think I'll stick with just these 3.)
    Can anyone suggest a block that fits this inspiration?  I have seen coleus-printed fabric and that's not what I'm going for.  I have seen amazing quilts dyed to look like closeups of coleus leaves and that's not what I'm going for either.  Just those colors and a block that is abstractly leaf-like.  I wonder about Lady of the Lake?  Also wondering about using the plum/maroon/chartreuse as the colors and white (or what?) as the neutral or using the plum/maroon as the colors and the chartreuse as the neutral?  Looking forward to suggestions.  Thank-you.
