Xmas colours

Dec 18, 2006 7 Replies

Anyone else here find the combination of dark green, scarlet and gold utterly revolting? Every fabric shop is themed that way at the moment.



Roll on saltire blue for Burns Night, pink for Valentines, or when's Beige Week? ANYTHING but this!

I personally prefer winter colours for my Christmas decorations: all shades of blue and white and silver. my kids disagree so my Christmas tree is slowly getting more colourful as they make new stuff for it at school

Prefer silver myself! Roberta in D

Christmas? Is it Christmas??? My husband is currently painting the living room so it looks like our Yuletide colors will be eggshell, cider toddy and nutmeg.

Oh dear, I like red and green with a touch of gold. Like white with a bit of gold in too. Makes me feel warm and Christmassy.

When Spring starts all the other colours will come out again - in fact they are already queuing up, and the Red/green/white and gold will be packed away until next year.

Have a nice purpley/mauvey wall hanging planned for the New Year, with embellishments, a turquoise log cabin(?), a cats with Red Hats started and a mariner's compass calling to me. And I will finish my pale green and cream King Size - honest I will!

Did you get any Puffins?

Never fear, Jack, it will all be gone in a week. I prefer medium green, bright red, blue, pale yellow, and white for Christmas. Debra in VA See my quilts at

Somehow I haven't noticed. My mom used to use pink and blue for Christmas. As a kid, I had my own little white artificial tree with blue lights.

Lately I've bought a lot of winter fabric, snowmen etc, with blue. Love the dark blue with white oval spots for snow. Bought a lot of Debbie Mumm Santa fabrics for a fabric swap. Those dark country colors were almost too dark for me.

Right now I'm in the mood for a favorite brown and red holiday treat -- chocolate covered cherries.

Now everywhere I go, I'll be looking for that gold-scarlet-green combo.

In my opinion, Jack, these ladies aren't giving you enough "slack."
