I need contrast. I am making one now that doesn't have the contrast I need and I will definitely not keep it!!

I like contrast in an intricate pattern. With larger blocks I like the low contrast OK. I made an intricate pattern with low contrast for a quilt show and the only thing marked down by the judge was the lack of contrast. Matter of opinion I guess.

I think I am more of a 'low contrast' person but I do love the ones with lots of contrast

More contrast...so you can SEE the blocks and the design. They're way too busy for me.
|
just my opinion but some of these new fabrics and patterns are so boring guess I am a contrast person
|
I am always trying to calm my desire for colorful quilts. It does not work. Must be my personality wanting expressive colors.
|
Sometimes, but personally I like lots of contrast. Use a lot of black as background.
|
I do not like all the Fad colors / styles either. Some of the paislys r big as basketballs...I don't really see anything but swirly stuff...on the other hand the Batiks r lovely creations.

To me contast does not have to be glaring,but when I was hosting a block lotto,a lot of blocks came to me that were little to no contrast and they stood out like a sore thumb.For example,a Bears Paw in a very light pink with a white background.It looked pretty up close,but always stand at distance and look. The pattern totally dis appeared,and did not fit in with the rest of the blocks at all.This is a common mistake with newbies.I love pastels,but seldom work with them with a pattern,I save them for larger squares or such.Its a lot of work to make a pieced block and then it disappears into the background.The more intricate a pattern is,the more contrast you need,and that includes scale and color.Hope that helps.

I love the high contrast.
