and in PRINT and eBook too ! 

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.

Make a Quilt Monday

Basic How to Pick Quilt Fabric’s

COLOR is always on Quilter’s mind, And here is the way that I was taught in the 1990’s !

And it really works good for a basic color palette for a quilt. It’s the light, medium and dark fabric way, you can’t go wrong.   Make a Quilt Monday

Pick your Quilt Colors by The Quilt Ladies1) Start with one fabric. Take this one fabric and work from it. Is that one fabric, a dark, medium or light color?

 

 

This is a Dark

Pick your Quilt Colors by The Quilt Ladies

 

 

Add the light and medium.
Move and change it until you like it.
Lay them out in front of you.

 

How to Pick your Quilt Colors by The Quilt LadiesThen add, a dark medium, a light medium, until you have the mix of what you like.

 

 

2) Choose colors and patterns you love. An average a twin size quilt will take me about a week to piece together, and if hand quilted another, 3-4 months. If tied or machine quilted 3-4 weeks, you have so much time and cost involved you have to love it.

3) Natural or background colors. These are the corner stone. More often than not the background color is your light color. Your background color helps bring the blocks together. It does not always need to be a light either, dark or medium work well to, any color can be used.

Pick your Quilt Colors by The Quilt Ladies

4) Color Wheel. I’m not a big fan of the color wheel, I do like when colors pops and on most of my quilts the start fabric is not the most prominent color used it in, it is just a starting point.
5) Make one block. This should always be done, a Quilters practice, cut only fabric for one block and live with it for a few days. Especially, if it’s something you’ve never tried before. Most times you will know right away if you like it or not.
6) Have fun. This is the best way I’ve found to pick colors, enjoy the process, your quilt will be fantastic.
