Now for today's color story:
This has been one of the most popular color stories ever. It used to be known as "the money color " in New York's garment center/ dress business. Whatever the latest color trends were, this winner would always be added to the lineup because it always sells.
Is this your go-to color story? Does it resonate with you?
leave a comment, let me know and you could win a yard of each of the Lagoon color story prints pictured above.
The random winner will be announced next wednesday.
And I'd like to say to all you east coast folks
dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Irene;
this week's water theme color story is purely coincidental.
Here's to calmer times and the soothing effects of
natures' favorite
blue and green palette.

Love the mixture of teals & greens! Beautiful collection :)
I have a soft spot in my heart for teals because way back when, twenty-six years ago, when I started dating my sweetheart, he referred to every color by its primary name except for "teal". He knew he liked teal, and once, in a moment of extreme daring, even wore a teal pocket square.

Love this colorway! I have some of the strips and dots but would love to add this bundle to my collection! :) Thanks for the chance!
I love this one. I love the fabric patterns, too -- the geometric shapes are perfect with the color story.
So pretty...these would look great in my daughters' room
This colorway always attracts me - even across the room. Soooo soothing and a joy to sew!
I love these colors combined in different shades, and they find their way into my home frequently!!! I think the reason why is exactly like you mentioned;reminders of nature. I love the ocean,beaches, meadows,peaceful places to go to to be refreshed!And that is how these colors work for me. Breezy, calm, and fresh;-)
I particularly like those polka dots. Beautiful colour story.
Judith.
Love the blues and the greens!! And oh those polka dots are simply fabulous!
Blues in all of their variations is my favorite color so Lagoon is my fave so far of the color stories. Thank you for the chance as I oh so want to make a blue quilt. This is ME - Blue Lagoon.
Turquoise has always been a favorite of mine- it's a true water color here in Hawaii!
You are so right! This colorway is always a winner! Here in the southwest desert, we pair it with copper, rust, sand colors and its gorgeous!
Oh my goodness! I've been waiting for this to be the color story! Yes!!! I have loved these colors from the beginning of my life!
Love the colorstory!! So fresh and peaceful at the same time.

I love the colors of nature so these bright fabric colors are beautiful to me!
I think this is such a modern, fun palate for a boy. Beautiful!
OMG! This totally is my go to color.....here is why The lagoon(turquoise color) is my favorite because it is color everyone can wear. It has blue and red in it's composition
all skin tones look great it this color. I like it because I can team it up with lime black or even pink and it looks fabulous! It can be team up with almost any colors.
Hats off to a wonderful color combo.It feels and looks so fresh! Cant wait to get my creative hands on this...thanks so much.

Green is my go to colour at the moment and love teal accessories. Really liking the polka dots and flower prints here.
I have recently made at least 3 quilts with some or all of these colors. They seem so cool and refreshing to me. Besides loving the colors, I love these fabrics for the DOTS. Any fabric with dots always seems to appeal to me.
I have two quilts with teal/lime green and I am loving the color combinations. These fabrics are beautiful together.
Ooooo, I love these colors. I love the connection to the plants and grass-so summery and breezy.
These colors remind me the sea and the many hours I spent at the beach! I love the gray and black mixed with the turquoise & green.
I love green, I Love dots, I love stripes and I love flowers....I LOVE THIS
This has always been a favorite of mine. I never knew I was so with it in the fabrics! :)
Teal and green speak to me! Love these color combos.
Love this color story. :)

By far my favorite! I have always loved black and turquoise together!
This is my all time favorite color combo!! I did my craft area in these colors and it just kind of spilled over into the rest of the basement :)
I love this color combo. I have been planning a wedding quilt for my sister in law with this palette in mind these would be perfect!!

I find more and more of these colors sneaking into my wardrobe. And the quilt prints coordinate with so many others. And Lagoon makes me think of being on a tropical island-so yay for this color story!
I would LOVE this bundle!! Our carribean ocean inspired room could benifit greatly from the lovely colors of this grouping! I envision throw pillows, runners for the dressers. a lamp shade covering amongst other accessories to pull the room together with an attached bathroom!
This would definitely go great in my bedroom that I'm trying to redecorate. I love those colors!
My first thought seeing these colors was "I wish I were in the carribean right now". Those colors are so relaxing but energizing at the same time. Beautiful!
beautiful colors and patterns! love it!
Love these colors, they would totally go in my bedroom.
I absolutely love this line! These are some of my favorite colors!!
I'm a sucker for every one of these Color Stories;absolutely every one.
You guys have done such a great job of putting these together.
Wow, it's been awhile since I've seen teal. I'm super excited to see it coming out. :-) I also love anything with black too.
So uplifting and good for the soul as all nature is.

The combinations of Blues and Greens don't just speak to me, they shout out loud at me, they always have. It's an earth thing, grass, tress, sky & water, all mixed together.
I use these colors all the time and love them! And you can even throw in a color from across the wheel and have something spectacular.
Oh these colors definately sing to me! Especially love the pops of black!!
Hoping to win! As I lOVE this color combo!! -Brianna!
LOVE THE BLUES+GREENS; ESPECIALLY LOVE THE DOTS! THANKS SO FOR SHARING!
I love this colorway, and With that touch of black, it just makes it modern and fresh!
I love these colors and prints.
Teal has always been one of my favorite colors. Combining it with turquoise & lime & other blues is brilliant. Thanks for the giveaway.
This fabric is like a little vacation! Gorgeous!!
these are two of my favorite colors! love them! :)
It's the perfect colorway for our Florida home. Keep us cool and fresh no matter the temperature!

Always love polka dots! The colors make me want to go somewhere with clear blue ocean water!
It's always my go-to color for fashion or decor accents. It makes me happy.

These are all the colors I'm using in my new-to-me 1960s California ranch. They're so fresh and fun!
holy smokes...those colors are amazing!
Something so serene and soothing about teal and green. Love teal colors especially on little kids.
Love it! Reminds me of a local spa.

I think it's calming, but also in regards to the actual color it's gender neutral.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE COLOURS!! Im so obsessed with teal and gray and the rest is just the cherry on top....ooooh I hope lady luck is on my side for this one :D
I love teals!!!

Just beautiful! No more words necessary.
everyone, knows, i mean everyone! knows blue/green is my color combo!
at work, those are the only 2 highlighters i use.
my kitchen: blue and green.
my bedroom: blue and green.
my husband finally told me: "enough with the blue & green"
lol.
I can see why these are so popular. They are just beautiful. Thanks for the chance.
I just love all these ocean colours.
much as I've loved some of the other combinations, this is very much me. My wardrobe is full of turquoise!
I love love love these colors. They remind me of the crisp cool days ahead. Teal is an amazing color, sophisticated and fun. Would love a chance to work with these fabrics
I love the polka dots :)
lovely fabrics, thanks for a chance to win!!
Your Lagoon color story is the perfect solution for a patchwork quilt in our bedroom. Beautifully balanced, fresh and calming.
Love it!! Actually I love all your fabric. Green is my favorite.
The second quilt I ever started was all different shades of blues and greens like this. It is still unfinished somewhere...
ooh I love love love teal and green! two of my favorite colors
Me, Me, Me! These are the colors I love. Apparently I am not as unique as I thought I was ;)
I love (LOVE!) the combination of blue and green together. The colors in my sewing room are blue and green. Lagoon is a beautiful variation of the wonderful match.
Love, love, love these colors! So bright and refreshing and would be perfect for adults, kids, boy or girl.
The best way to describe this color combo is "striking". The colors complement each other and the black ties it all together. I can picture a quilt made with these fabrics!
Beatitul colors. They remind me a boat journey near the Mediterranean sea, where I live.
Thank you
i really like the blue and black, but not so much the green. strangely though, i love the guitars in lagoon, which isn't in your picture.
Love this color story....teal is my fav color at the moment and it pops when paired with the greem and black....LOVE IT!
So...COOL!!!!! At the moment...aqua or teals are my favorite colors...I have been pairing them with browns and lime greens,I never thought about putting the black with it! Looks great though! Thanks for the chance!
I can see why it sells, I don't think I know anyone who doesn't like this color combo. It's very summery to me and makes me think of sandy beaches and sun kissed skin.
I love turquoise and lime! This fabric would make some great purses.
If I could get my husband to agree to it. My whole house would be in this color pallet. I would definitely have no trouble puting this color sceme to good use.
Modern and yet a tad schosh retro. Love the color combo. The color story would look great as pillows on my too bland furniture.
And we finally have power post Irene!
Love the colors, anything that reminds me of sunflowers makes its way into my home. Robbin
Colors that describe a trip to an island in the Caribbean, standing on white sand at a beach and looking at the ocean move with those blues,greens,whites,gray colors and savoring the moment.
And, those are my favorite colors....
Yes, this color is one of my old and new favorites! I think your addition of the lime green gives it a very fresh, modern feel!
Yes and yes. The teal is so popular right now and the green, especially that hue is a classic. Have a bolt anyone? Yes please.
The colour combination is extraordinary... I love these colours...
I love these colors-- they say 'summer' and they would be so nice to work with all fall and winter.
The old rules used to state 'Blue and green should never be seen' I say oh yes they should.
I love this color combo!!!
ADORE lime green!! Love this combo--blue is soothing to me but can also be energizing. I have dusty greyish purple in my den and use bits of lime green w/it. Looks great in the accessories. I also love this color combo because I would add tiny bits of orange w/it, which is my 2nd fave color!!! Not to mention the polka dots.
I'm in love with these colors--I pretty much buy every fabric I see in this colorway! Especially chartreuse!
I love this color combo. I am energized by lime-y colors. But, right now I'm SO comforted by aqua-teal colors--am re-doing my bedroom with these as accent colors, on a base of quiet beiges. (Need a place to soothe the mind.)

Beautiful color combination! It does make one think of blue waters...

I'd love to make a quilt out of these fabrics.
Gorgeous
Love these colors. Soothing but fun in these prints. Just the colors for a quilt for my guest room.
My favorite colors are the greens, blues, teals and combinations. Love the lime and black infusions too! Another winner in my book!
thanks for your blog... I did the cloth shoes for my twins, this tutorial is "superbe" !
and lagoon is ME... and my boys !
the twins wear turquoise and green all the time, I have painted their bedroom with sky, water and grass colors...
nature and energy, this color smells like the hair of my kids and sounds like their laugh.
bonsoir et merci
Having just gone through hurricane irene, I appreciate the calmer side of nature and I love the calm colors of a bright sunny days the sweet shades of turquiose and calm shades of greeny trees blowing gently in the breeze. I think some nice throw pillows to remind me of such days when the weather has changed will keep me happy all winter.
I love this colourway. Im Happy to know a name for it. So much in my life has these colours through it, but the biggest link for me is it reminds me of my best friend. These are definatley her colours!
I adore these colors! very aesthetically pleasing!
A beautiful color combination! It's no surprise that its such a go-to pallette for so many.
Super cute fabric! Would love to win!
As always, Michael Miller fabrics does it again... I use more MMF prints than any other line!
Love the fabric! Like you said the colors bring me back to nature...
These colors are awesome
love the ocean theme....makes me relax just looking at them. Awesome combination...
I love this colourway! Bright and gender neutral, what a great collection :)
Just found your site...and am stuck in the middle of the country...no oceans...but have a one acre pond with frogs and pond algea, lovely cat tails and bluegreen water surrounded by lush greens against a bright blue sky...I have traveled with moves in a military family...more moves than I care to count...traveling from sea to shining sea and then overseas to distant shores...I love sea glass...and I recently renovated my master bath from the dingy pink mauve colored stained carpet to a fresh linen colored italian tile with dark aqua(teal) colored walls...It is dreamy and serene...I am excited about this whole colorline and am pleased to be a new reader addition to your blog!
We just dealt with Irene out here, but the power is back and water has receded. And these aquas and limes are my go to colors! Just today my kids & I were talking about favorites colors and they said "we know your mom, blue & green!" they know we well. And so do you it seems....PLEASE pick me! I could use some of these colors to calm me...with school starting and lots to clean from Irene.... ; )
I have always loved these colors and I'd would dearly love to pass them on to the grandchild we're expecting in April! They are neither boy nor girl, but they are certainly very cool and I want to do something very cool for this new little one.
Love the polka dots! And the flower/starburst is really amazing.
LOVE IT!!!!! LOVE IT!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!! Just bought a bunch of it for crib bedding for my baby on the way. I spent 3 days searching for fabric and came across this color story and instantly fell in love! LOVE IT!!!
I am a hot pink girl by nature - but when I need to really think and just be calm - I head to my bedroom - my oasis in blues, greens and creme.
Soooo Inviting!
Awesome design! I wonder if you have more stuff like this to put in my
