IMHO....If we all followed the "Could of, Should of, Would of" RULES .....Many of us would not be quilters. Do what appeals to You...what You like...what makes You happy.
Happy quilting, Beckie |
i've made a number of breath-taking quilts with no black or white in them- contrast and interest can be achieved with any color as long as you pay attention to values- black and white in their place do add contrast but are certainly not required in order to create a successful quilt

Who in the world told you that? I am curious who told you that "rule".
It is, as several other quilters have said, complete B.S. |

Must have been said by a member of the quilt police. Don't worry about it as long as you have a color scheme that's pleasing to you!

Since Lancaster is in Amish/Mennonite county do you think that this may be an Amsh quilt "rule"?
|
Huh never heard of that one! I do whatever floats my boat ;-)
|
Haven't heard that one...I have heard about the dash of turquoise to lift a scrappy...but that's about it. When it comes to colour/pattern I am a bit of a renegade....the only "rules" of quilting I follow are more along the construction/pressing/putting together stuff. It's all about tone/value really....black or white could be a detrimental addition to some quilts.

I think every quilt should have some orange for a little zing. LOL Use what you like. I am not big on white and so so on black.
|
I think you can use any color you like in a quilt and leave out those colors you don't want to use. After all, your the one making it.
