For many quilters the most difficult part of making a quilt is selecting fabric. It can be a real challenge to turn your vision for a quilt into reality when faced with so many fabric choices.

Karen Brown from Just Get It Done Quilts has put together a wonderful video full of insightful tips for selecting fabric. She does a great job of addressing the places where it’s easy to go wrong when choosing fabric for a quilt.

She uses the Ultimate 3-in-1 Color Tool to help her in the process. Once she has made her selections, notice how she folds the fabrics to see how well they work together.

Plus, we love (and can identify with!) her thoughts about second guessing your choices. This is a helpful video that you’re likely to watch again and again.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
