How Do You Choose Patchwork Quilt Fabric?
Quilting is a hobby loved by beginners, experts and everyone in between. Patchwork quilts are especially fun and easy for beginners as they are most often squares of random material sewn together. Choosing the right color and fabric for a quilt is very important and can make the difference between a good quilt and a great one. Decide the purpose of your quilt. For example, if you are making it for a baby you might choose pastel colors, or for a man you might choose darker colors. Maybe you want it to match existing furniture or bedding. Deciding the purpose is sometimes the easiest way to choose colors. Choose your color scheme. A monochromatic scheme consists of varying shades of one color. A multi-colored scheme uses a patterned fabric and pulls colors from it to make up the rest of the palette. Vary the prints, choosing from small, medium and large prints, to add visual interest and depth. Vary the color tones, choosing from light, medium and dark fabrics, to give depth and contrast
