Doilies in color

[Dollygk]

Hi Crochetville-ers, many times I have seen doilies in color but I have never been a fan because you can't "see" the actual design, but I have dabbed in using colors and some of the results were nice.

 

Picture 1, 2003, The first time I use colors and I loved the results.

 

Picture 2, made in 2004 for my sister and using colors she picked to match her living room.

 

Picture 3, this is called Eternity Doily and I made it for my daughter when she married in 2005, I love how the stitches are intertwined.

 

Picture 4, not a great doily but my daughter insisted I complete it for her.

 

Picture 5, I'm still confused about liking this one, the design I love but the colors mess me up!

 

Picture 6,  When I saw this doily I automatically thought of a neice and had to buy and make it for her.

 

Picture 7, for some reason I wanted to try using colors again and in 2015 I made this and gave it to a neighbor   he he

 

Picture 8, a dinning table runner, not bad but probably the wrong color?

 

Picture 9, a nice doily and I was intrigued to make the pattern.

 

Thanks for looking!!!

They're all beautiful! The second one for your sister's living room is my favorite. The color contrast with that design is striking!

I like I think it is 4.  The multi color with the red just stands out.  They are all beautiful.

Very nice, all of them!  I would never have thought of doing the pineapple columns in color.

They are all stunning and I'm sure were well received. I really like the last runners. The colors show up beautifully.

For myself, I make sure to crochet these types of doilies in my favorite colors. I've made a few for others in their colors and do not like them as much. Maybe it's just a color preference.

I am drawn to color and I think all of these doilies are stunning. Good job!
