Special Block Colors:
The following pics will help you in putting together a similar quilt using specific color combinations. After I had about 50 blocks made, I decided to pull blocks that you could duplicate yourself with your fabrics to give you an idea of how this quilt was put together and took pics of those type blocks for use as a guideline.
The first thing you notice about the quilt is that it is made up mostly of near-solid looking fabrics or small and medium scale prints and when combined with other colors, it really packs a punch, especially from a distance! It is also important to include a few blocks that are different in many ways from all the others. This gives the quilt some excitement!!
Busy fabrics are just a no-no for this type block because of its small size. However, using some med.-lg. scale prints as the background can give it some pep! This will work because the last round's pieces are larger and can handle that size print. So keeping it to small scale and med. scale will be your best bet for those strong colors to emerge!
Here are some suggestions for the following type blocks to make.
