Quilt Block Colors with a Color Wheel – Beth Ann Doing

Start with Color

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

primary colors for a quilt

 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.

color wheel for a quilt, The Quilt Ladies

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)

color wheel

color wheel The Quilt Ladies

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 ! ! !

The Wedding Quilt Pattern Book

Every Quilt Has a Story

The Wedding Quilt is my wedding quilt pattern, it’s my Dream Quilt. At the time of our wedding I made all my clothes and had not even thought of making quilts. But after the boys arrived, Husbands job moved us all around and being alone with little ones I found quilting. 

The Quilt Ladies Book Collection
The Quilt Ladies Wedding Quilt Pattern

The Quilt Ladies Wedding Quilt Pattern Book
Writing The Quilt Ladies books I had one of the Ladies getting married, it was time for MY dream a wedding quilt pattern and that became a Wedding quilt to be designed and made by me. Our wedding colors were Red and White, so this quilt had to be red and white. 

I wanted this/my quilt to be both pieced and applique. At the time of making it I needed a hand applique project to take with me. Sewing all the units as in the quilt pattern and taking the leave blocks along in my bag, hand work as always with me. Included in the quilt pattern is hand appliques instructions, I needle turn my applique and how to use fusible web as your way to add leaves.

The hope had been to hand quilt this quilt top, that didn’t happen, life became complicated and this quilt was long arm quilted. It’s VERY nice, BUT in my heart of hearts…it should be hand quilted by me…just saying.

But, I still sleep under it just perfect and love everything about it.

The Quilt Ladies Wedding Quilt is really my quilt

The Quilt Ladies Wedding Quilt is made up of Twelve, 12” x 12” quilt blocks, each quilt block has stems and applique leaves in each corner. The outside border continues the pieced leaves, applique stems and leaves. Each quilt block is bordered so that quilting can to added with loads of space. This quilt has a finished size of 93” x 78”
