I need ideas for 3-colored simple quilt
Happy New Year!! I am making my mother-in-law a quilt, she wanted lavender and green, so I bought some gorgeous batiks, lavender, greens and blues. I need ideas for simple 3-colored quilts. One of the batiks is dark, the other two are mid-value, with one lighter than the other, but not light, like white. I can do triangles, but not too well, so squares and rectangles are preferred!!!
Thank you, Nancy |
How about a D9P?
|
Sandy, can I do that with three colors?? I did one of them with 9 colors, how would I set up the colors? Would they go like this:
Green Purple Blue Blue Green Purple Purple Blue Green And how would that look when I cut it and re-sew it?? Thanks for your help!! Nancy |
How about a variation on Lightning Bolt?
|
How about a double Irish Chain?
|
These look like examples of a 3 fabric D9P
http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...t165851-7.html I would pick your favourite fabric to put in the 4 corners. This is a great tutorial for using 3 colours and it shows all the variations, depending on how you rotate your blocks http://www.traceypereira.com/2010/12...g-9-patch.html |
Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions - I am off to look into them!! Nancy |
How about rail fence?

Here is a fun tube quilt tutorial from Missouri Star Quilt Company using 3 fabrics:

Carpenter's wheel looks great with 3 colors.

I was just trying to find a picture to show you....but, it must have been before I was using a digital camera. |
I think the tube block tutorial is a great idea and easy too.
|
Yes, I had totally forgotten about the tube tutorial, it is an easy quilt!! And rail fence - I have done a few of them, they are easy and fun!! Thank you so much, ladies!
