FABRICS MAKE A DIFFERENCE

To prepare for future class proposals I made a few new Class Samples using different styles of fabrics from the primary sample. 

I find people can't often picture a project made in very different fabrics from the published sample.

Here you can see how different a quilt can look when you change colors/fabrics.

WESTERN SUN:

1800's Reproduction Fabrics, 110" square

                                                         WILD WESTERN SUN:

Bright Contemporary Fabrics, 40" square

CHARMING SAMPLER:

Old timey Fabrics, 33" square

Kaffe Charming, 29" x 33"

DISAPPEARING PATCHWORK: 

Bright Sample Block

Neutral Quilt, 62" square

ANTIQUE ROSE STAR: 

1800's Reproduction Fabrics, 66" x 74"

Student work, Bright Contemporary Fabrics

HEXAGON DIAMOND STARS:

Bright Contemporary Fabrics, 13" x 14"

1800's Reproduction Fabrics, 39" x 41"

FEATHERED STARS:

Pam R's finished quilt, Fussy Cut centers of William Morris fabrics

If you see a quilt you like but don't love the colors or fabric choices, consider making a "test block" with different fabrics. Good design is good design, it just takes the right fabrics to make a quilt one you will love. 

Let's quilt.
