Sometimes you don’t have a specific idea for a quilt, but you know you want to make it in a certain color. Check out these color combinations for some inspiration.
We’ve gathered up four of the most popular color schemes in quilting: fall colors, bright colors, grayscale, and rainbow. If you’re feeling ambitious, make a quilt in each of the color schemes.
The great thing about working in a color scheme is that your quilt won’t clash. Rather, you’ll get a cute and cohesive quilt that’s worthy of royalty.
These free quilt patterns are some of our favorites, so please let us know which ones you like the best in the comments below. Your comments are like e-hugs (and we love hugs)!
Fall Colors
Fall colors make any quilt look rich and cozy. We love how red, orange, yellow, and brown instantly evoke a spirit of autumn. Bring on the foliage, fall!

My personal color scheme is Red White and Blue (not necessarily the patriotic tones/shades although sometimes). Rainbow quilts is my secondary color scheme. However, the color schemes I use in a project depend on who the project is for. Many-colored utilitarian scrap crazy quilts are a tradition in my family. On my ideas list is an illusion quilt in either red and white or black and white. I’ve been planning a storm at sea quilt for many years and have recently fallen in love with some of the improv and jelly roll quilts. My favorite quilts in the above list are the 2 rainbow hearts and the Ah mazing Improv. So many ideas, so little time!
Bright colors
Fall colors, I love the warmth of earth tones.
I love working with all colors.
