Winnie the Pooh Quilt Color Scheme for a quilt or nursery… If you are like my girl friends and I, Winnie the Pooh has my heart. Am I biased if I say this classic color scheme won’t go out of fashion?
Whether it’s for birthday, nursery, shower, WInnie the Pooh is a well loved theme that no one is getting tired of and time soon.
Over the time it’s been published, animated and reimagined and the color schemes refresh along the way. I think most people have a favorite Winnie the Pooh Quilt Color remake and color scheme. Some scheme’s predate the “red shirt.” Let’s take a look at some of the color palettes I created through my Winnie the Pooh quilts.
Cheerie and Rustic Winnie the Pooh Color Scheme
For my Godson with a Winnie the Pooh themed nursery, I wanted this quilt to have a bright and mismatched feeling. The squares are quite small which makes it feel extra maluable and sweet. Even for a small baby quilt, you get a lot of different colors packed in.
When creating a randomly colored quilt, how you disperse your colors is key. To create this look, I used colors that are similar tones and added few outliers for contrast. If you have two colors the same next to one another, don’t fret.
The Palette/Color Scheme
- Light lemon-y yellow pastel
- Warm cream (white that leaned toward yellow)
- Pops of gold yellow. This big impact I kept as a sprinkling of stars my quilt.
- Nudes and bieges are there throughout. They soften and harmonize the other colors. These are the bulk of the quilt, it unifies the quilt and set the overall tone of the quilt.
Creating a “Random” Look Square Quilt Design Tips:
I find it’s a little easier to manage the overall vision if I sew in blocks rather than in rows. I can switch out blocks and turn them to improve and edit the quilt design until the end.
For this Winnie the Pooh quilt, I chose to do smaller squares. While classic in design, the small squares will add a bit of a cutesy patchwork and hominess to the nursery.
The straight line hand stitching across the quilt in different shades of yellow add a little extra texture and more varity of yellow to the front and the back of the quilt.
Classic Winnie the Pooh Color Scheme
Another Winnie the Pooh palette inspired by a friend’s vision for her nursery – Winnie the Pooh in the classic illustration era.
Thinking about subtle watercolors and pastels on white paper led me to these fabric colors. The gold was toned down and I introduced some coniferous greens to the palette and a lighter lemony yellow. I thought the peach looked very dreamy and classic with some of the neutrals brought in.
The Palette/Color Scheme
- Very Light pastel Yellow – This was the era before Pooh had his red shirt, overall the palette is less loud.
- Dull Peach – I’m thinking of Piglet, the rosy cheeks of Peter are all great reasons to add a touch of blush.
- Soft dull emeralds, thinking about the coniferous trees in the hundred-acre woods.
- Near whites for modern freshness and cream for softeness so it doesn’t feel too stark.
Extra Details
The silk bindings make this soft and handsome quilt a snug-able, chewable quality.
On this quilt, I cut a diagonal orientation for the squares. It does mean losing some fabric on the edges but worthwhile and elegant detail.
This beige gingham is a delicate pattern that compliments and adds texture to the solids. It’s hard to remember that this quilt doesn’t have any wild patterns – always impressed me what you can do when quilting with solids and simple patterns. I’m hopeful their looks will last a long time.
Sophisticated Winnie the Pooh Color Scheme
Solids and simple prints take a modern design with Winnie the pooh schemes. This one has a touch of cool, van dyke brown that adds a bit of punch/sleekness to the contrast.
The Palette/Color Scheme
- Gingham, nearly gold
- Dark brown gingham adds a splash of contrast and patterned print
- Light grey-blue solid
- Buttercream solid
- Beige (in gingham)
- Forest Green
- Creamy white – A lot for balance
It’s surely not going to be my last winne the pooh color scheme quilt. I have lots of scraps an barely started run out of ideas or love for the One Hundred Acre Woods.
