You don't have to worry about 'colours' just how much they contrast together, so just think small..this is made with 4 patches and Half Squared Triangles. Concentrate on creating as much contrast between the lights and darks as you can. I used a whole range of fabrics and designs, didn't give a hoot what they were as long as they stood out from each other. When I put the 4 patches and HST's together in a block, I made sure I had a couple of brights included for a good overall mix when the quilt was put together.
Just focus on the small parts of the quilt and the overall design will blend all on it's own..trust me!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
That sounds easy enough! I'm anxious to give this a try but not until I finish a project for my seven grandchildren (a jean quilt for each of them! Never again!! What a project!) On a good note, I'm adding lots and lots to my stash!!!!!!!! Thanks for your encouragement, Izy :D
I can't wait to see what you make and it is only right that I encourage others as I have been encouraged here by all my quilty friends! :-D :-D :-D
