Next is a close-up picture of the quilt so you can have a better idea of how these large scale fabrics work together to create some excitement among blocks! Take a look at some of the big shapes in the fabrics and how they are used in the quilt. This should be your goal in order to highlight and 'lift' areas of color. The eye is naturally drawn to these big shapes of leaves, flowers, geometrics, etc. With the block finishing at 1.5", these shapes are necessary mixed alternately with solids, near solids and med. fabrics.
