Dramatically Alter This Quilt with Fabric Selection
Go Scrappy, Traditional or Contemporary!
Fabric selection can give a quilt vastly different looks. In fact, that’s part of the fun of quilting – making a pattern uniquely yours by playing with color and value.
This pattern shows very clearly how colors and fabric styles affect the finished result. The quilt is beautiful whether done in a scrappy style, given a traditional treatment or brought up to date with modern colors and fabrics.
Softly colored scraps can produce a pretty vintage style quilt. Bolder scraps will be lovely too.
Create a traditional quilt by choosing one predominant color and a white or tan background.
Vivid colors against black are perfect for a contemporary quilt.
Take your time and play with color for your own unique version.
The pattern, from Quilts by Wing Designs, provides instructions for two sizes:
- Twin/full – 72″ x 88″ (WITHOUT added borders)
- Queen – 88″ x 102″ (WITH added borders)
