Florescent Colors
I am looking for florescent colors to use in a quilt for my granddaughter. She and I have looked at so many shops, but not much luck. Anyone have any information?

Re: Florescent Colors
I haven't seen any lately. They seem to go through phases where there everywhere and then no where. I'll keep a look out for you. Have you tried looking online? I just finished a kitty quilt with bright colors that were kinda of florescent.

Re: Florescent Colors
I'm new to quilting. I'm using fabric from wal-mart that is kinda bright. But I saw a quilt once where fabric was bright and the quilting was done with neon thread. It really made it pop. I hope that you can find what you need.

Re: Florescent Colors
I think I have enough florescent fabric, or at least bright fabric.
Adina likes it and helped me pick it. She decided on polka dot material for the back. This is a quilt as you go, in 12" blocks, so I now have a collection of approximately 16 different pokla dot fabrics. I can't wait to get started. It will be a fun quilt to make.

Have you checked out the Marble fabric from Moda? I am doing a pieced border using a blue, orange, yellow and green. It is really bright.

Re: Florescent Colors
FYI, I saw some super bright thread at JoAnnes. When you are ready to quilt, maybe you'd like some of that?

I made a radiant star with very bright fabrics and used black for the background. i have dimmer switches on all my light switches and when you adjust the light the quilt appears to glow...truely awesome

Re: Florescent Colors
Have you tried checking out the Fairy Frost fabrics? They can be soft and subtle, or bright and in-your-face, depending on the colors you pick. Cindy
