I wondered what everyone else thinks about combining colors for fabrics in a quilt. So what draws your eye when you buy fabric?
I am needing to branch out and explore new ideas for color. so any tips and sharing your likes and dislikes would be appreciated!
So much depends on the design of the fabric and the quilt pattern. Working on a carpenter's wheel with colors I'd never have chosen if the designs of the fabric didn't match so well. (batiks)
