Orange, purple, blue and green - hhmmmmmm?!
I just knew I had seen this somewhere.

Flowers of course

A jungle of strelitzias - orange flowers with deep purple
and blue "tongues" and dark green foliage with slashes of
bright green through the leaves
http://hort.ufl.edu/shrubs/STRREGA.PDF#search=%22strelitzia%22
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strelitzia


Or parrots, maybe birds of paradise. Picture all those
colours in big colourful tails and head crests. What about
some exotic Jacobean designs? Have you seen Pat Campbell's
birds? Or adapt a crewell embroidery design for applique.
http://www.patcampbell.com/pages/patterns.html

Hot air balloons against a sunrise/sunset. Infact the
orange/blue/purple could be any sunrise/sunset.

Sails on yatchs
Tropical fish
We have a wonderful flower in Aust called Kangaroo Paw -
http://www.aussie-info.com/identity/flora/kangapaw.php
that would be good. Just sub deep purple/blue for the black
tips
Or a desert landscape



The reason the colours "rang a bell" with me was that it a
colour combination sometimes used by Stewart Merrett, an
Aussie applique artist. His works are usually BIG (the
parrots are over 2m high screen room dividers) but take a
look -
http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2140801650075796722QLyapW
and following shots. These are quick scans of details from
some of his work and they don't do justice to the colours
and textures he uses.

Oh, I gotta go see how much purple and orange I have! I
know I have lots of blue and green. I foresee another
"wasted" day browsing through designs and foldling fabrics
((sigh))

I'm afraid you think I am much better at applique than I think I am. I
know I am not up to doing a Pat Campbell design yet. I'll have to
look into designs by Stewart Merrett. I did see something I want to
do with those colors though:

The big question is where can I get the pattern?

According to the back of the pattern envelope -

Feline Fiesta
by KTS Designs

Distributed by Golden Needles & Quilts
701 N. Allen
Rockport TEXAS 78382

(361) 729-7873
www.quiltscapes.com

I drew my pattern over into EQ5 so I could resize and play
with colours and layouts. Do you EQ?

Wow! What a reply!
Cheryl you're great!
I would not be trying to use these colours together (thought my DH would
be glad if I would >g<); but I just had to applaud your answer.

We're all going to be waiting for something marvellous to come out of
these suggestions, Debra!
