Color choices

Moses rests beneath a wrapped blanket, so begin with soft cream, pale yellow, or light blue across its broad bands. Color the woven basket with warm tan and brown, using darker shades between the strips for contrast. Choose blue-green water beside deep green reeds and olive cattail stems. Finish the lily pads in fresh green and the blossoms in pink, purple, or white with golden centers.

Basket Weave Pattern

Use alternating shades on the basket strips, then choose a repeating color sequence for the blanket bands.
