How to Choose Fabric for a Quilt

Today we bring you some tips for how to choose the right fabric for a quilt (check the full post out here).

Find a “focus fabric” and choose your color scheme based on that fabric. For instance, the post’s writer was making a baby quilt for her sister a few years ago and she really liked a jungle print by Alexander Henry – so they used that as the jumping off point for the rest of the fabrics. They had a blast then picking and choosing the fat quarters to bring the whole quilt together.

Key Takeaways:

• A process that is a simple and straight forward way to bring a quilt together!
• Small scale, medium and sometimes even large scale prints in a quilt can give the quilt the depth and texture it needs to look pulled together.
• Use beautiful blocks and pull together color palettes out of the block’s image that work great together.
