Red, White & Blue

Hello - and welcome

I have been enjoying making baby items recently. Some in traditional classic pale colours - but I've also been a bit with bolder - with more contemporary colours too.  At the moment I love navy as an accent or contrast colour.

I think these are cute ~

white & navy blue baby cardigan

red, white & blue baby hat

 and I am happy with them.
I think I might try lime green next.

 

I would love to know what colours combinations you enjoy using ....
