Rotary Cutter for Fabric and Acrylic Rulers

Learning How to Quilt

Let’s learn a bit about rotary cutter quilt tool, it makes cutting out your quilt quicker and easier. If just starting to quilt and not sure about all the quilting supplies,  HERE is my tutorial on using freezer paper to make quilt templates. IF new to quilting and you are thinking about purchasing a cutter, here is a set that’s very good.  Yes, I do get a few cents if you purchase through me and thank you. 

A rotary cutter is a tool used by quilters to cut fabric with precision and ease. It resembles a pizza cutter with a sharp circular blade that rotates when used. The blade is typically made of high-quality stainless steel and comes in different sizes, ranging from 18 mm to 60 mm. A fun thing about quilting and us quilters is we LOVE quilt products…
cutting with an acrylic ruler - the quilt ladies
Place your fabric on a cutting mat using an acrylic ruler. Acrylic rulers come in a variety of sizes and shapes, making it possible to find one that fits your specific project needs. You can choose from long rulers for cutting wide strips of fabric or small rulers for more intricate cuts. Additionally, some rulers have special features, such as grids, angles, or markings, which help you make more complex cuts and create unique designs.

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 ! ! !

Make a Quilt Monday – NOW I started Choosing Quilt Colors

Fabric Colors from a Photograph

This may seem a bit strange, but I love the colors in this dress, it’s from a Vogue magazine probably 6-8 years ago, (LOVE IT) and it’s how I picked the colors for my quilt Pattern Book.
Last week we did color HERE
See all Make a Quilt Monday
I do have to say that after all these many years, I don’t over think color anymore.  I have used some real dog of fabrics and when it’s all together…the quilt seems to work on it’s own. 

Choose fabric from a photo

 The purples, the pink/red sleeve, the green top
And a White added for the white Chair ! 
Choose fabric from a photo
B Annie Quilt Pattern eBook by the Quilt LadiesThis is one of the quilt rows, choosing fabrics this way 
The only color that just didn’t work for me was the black belt and I couldn’t find anything I liked, so I just left it off.
(Note: when piecing the blocks the dark green took the place of the black)
Here’s a look at one of the 16 blocks ! 
It worked !
