This quilt was on the bed and after returning home I had to draw it up. I have no idea if it was an original quilt, I don’t think so, but I love it. I have not made the quilt block to date but it’s in the file to do… IF you do, PLEASE send me pictures, Beth Ann Doing. See all I do at my ETSY Quilt Pattern Shop.
This quilt pattern block is sixteen inches by sixteen inches.

I have been working with 2 1/2 inch fabric squares and I can’t seem to get my colors right. So, out comes my color wheel. Quilt fabric colors are just like paint colors and I am going to try and explain a bit.
I have used this method too HERE (color from a photo) and HERE the tried and true, move fabrics around ! The color wheel is how to get you started, BUT as with everything it’s just a start, YOU do YOU. NO RULES
The color wheel is simply a circle tool that shows the relationships of colors. Below is a six color, color wheel with the primary colors being RED,YELLOW and BLUE.Primary colors are the three colors that cannot be created by mixing other colors together: red, blue, and yellow.
Secondary colors are created by mixing two primary colors together: Mix Red and Green you get Yellow Mix Red and Blue you get Magenta (light purple) Mix Blue and Green you get Cyan (light blue)
The color wheel also organizes the colors based on their relationships with one another. Colors that are directly across from each other on the color wheel are called complementary colors. These colors create a strong contrast when placed next to each other. For example, red and green are complementary colors.
Remember with fabric you have textures and patterns that will add interest to your quilt. And most importantly, HAVE FUN WITH COLOR ! ! !

I always tell new quilters, “Learn to make a 4-patch quilt block and you can do anything in quilting. It all starts with a square.” Add learning a triangle and you are on your way to becoming a Quilter.
Both my square and triangle tutorials are here for you.
