Yardage Required for entire quilt When you are looking at the green/pink/blue/white quilt top here are approximate yardage requirements for the entire quilt top. These measurements can be adapted to the colors you choose. The quilt top measures approximate 116 inches x 86 inches. It is important to use exact 1/4 inch seams. For the quilt top: Green – 4.5 yards White – 3.5 yards Blue – 2.5 yards Pink – 1 .25 yards For the quilt Back: 6 yards. (remember the back can be pieced as well with the leftover yardage from the quilt top. I like to use up all the fabric I can.) For the binding: Approximately 1 yard for 2 1/2 inch strips. Here are some tips on binding. |

Choosing Complimentary Fabric Colors for your Quilting Project How often have you made a quilt and after it was all done, you wish you would have chosen different fabric colors for your quilting patterns? All the work you did on the project seemed to have been in vain. You are not happy with the outcome at all! You may have purchased a variety of color wheels in the hope that by some magical formula it would display the right color choices for you. But try as you may, the colors just didn’t seem right. In fact, you just couldn’t trust this little gadget no matter which way you turned it. It is possible that you have thought about throwing the whole project into the trash bin. Then your unselfish side comes out and you attempt to give it to goodwill, but who would want something that looks so poorly assembled? What’s worse, your friends may see you taking it there and know that you made it! Hopefully you haven't taken such drastic measures, but the truth is, you really wish you had a knack for choosing the right fabric color combinations for your quilting patterns. Help is on the way! Have you ever thought how interior decorators match colors together? After you have picked up a few of these paint cards that interest you, consider where the quilted project will go. Think of the quilting patterns, color of the walls, maybe one of the colors on this paint chip is the color of the walls in a room in your home. Now that you have chosen the colored paint chip that appeals to you most, you are ready to shop for fabric and choose from many quilting patterns. Take the paint chip you have chosen to your favorite quilt shop and choose fabrics that match those on your paint chip and what you would like to go with your quilting patterns. It is really that simple. Your fabric colors are guaranteed to match perfectly! And to think someone else did all the deciding for you! Below you will find two possible examples of color choices and quilting patterns that you may like. Happy Quilting!! |
