Fabric choices

You can get all kinds of different effects just by using different fabrics. Using solids with a black will give you a nice Amish effect (Block A)

This is great block to make a scrap quilt with, just sort your fabrics into lights and darks and place accordingly (Block B).

Or you could have a monochrome look, where each block is made using light and dark scraps in a particular colour (Block C).

Mix prints with a tone on tone (as in the sample block) or what I sometimes call a semi solid (Block D).

Or go for two colours that are a good contrast to one another ie: Blue/yellow, yellow/Purple, green/Pink Red/Blue, etc (Block E).

Or you could go for the Christmas look (Block F).

These are just some examples, the options are endless. I love to play with my fabrics and it can be quite surprising the different combos you can come up with that way, that you wouldn’t necessarily think of.
