A Simple Palette Creates a Stunning Quilt
Imagine This Lovely Quilt in Other Colors!
Shoo Fly and star blocks float across the top of this beautiful quilt. The minimalistic black and tan palette will convey a modern or a vintage feel depending on where you display the quilt.
We love the colors of this quilt and can easily imagine it in other colors, as well. The secret to achieving a similar effect is to stay with a simple palette.
Choose one predominant color (in this case black), a neutral for the background (tan with black) and perhaps the same neutral in various values blended with the main color.
Of course, you can change the look entirely by using more colors. It’s really up to you! However you choose to color your quilt, start with a stripe for the border and work from there.
The finished quilt, by designer Terry Albers, is 60″ x 72″.
