Play with Value and Color to Make This Quilt Your Own
Instructions Are Provided for 7 Quilt Sizes!
Complex-looking blocks create a lovely overall design in this versatile quilt. While it looks difficult, squares and half-square triangles combine for simple construction.
Play with color and value placement and watch how the blocks change. The designer chose a pretty print for the center blocks and a darker fabric for the diamond shapes to create the striking design.
We’d love to see variations of the value placement. For example, consider the reverse – dark background, medium value triangles and light diamonds. We reversed the colors of the quilt below in Photoshop to show what that might look like.
The quilt is beautiful in many color combinations so go with what you like best.
