Selecting Colors & Fabrics for a Block Design Series

Joen Wolfrom | February 7, 2012

If you are interested in how to integrate color, fabric, and a block design for a quilt project, check out Laura Nownes’s post today in her group blog See How We Sew. Laura is presenting an excellent series on the subject of choosing colors, fabrics and a block design for a quilt. If you are a quilter who works with block designs, do check out Laura’s series.

Today Laura’s post  shows her “muddy” colored fabric selection. In addition, she gives some insights on how to find secondary designs in a block design. I think Laura’s Memory Star block with triadic colors is smashing. She likes to work with lots of fabrics when making a quilt, so this is just one sample of many more to come.

Enjoy Laura’s post.
