When it comes to quilts, my biggest struggle is colour. I happen to like bright, bold colours and while they're gorgeous, they require a bit of caution when putting them into a quilt. You'll see this when I post my UFOs here later this week. My quilt shop offers about 6 weekend classes on the colour wheel and using it in your quilts. I will be signing up for that.
But in the meantime, I decided to take some inspiration from other sources. First, here's a quilt my Mom is working on
I love the blues and yellows so much.
Yeah, this is my wedding bouquet, but look at the oranges and reds. Which is where I get into trouble.
I love the colours in this photo from St. Andrews in Scotland, but I would never walk into a quilt shop and go straight to them. Maybe I should.
Pinks are another colour that I don't often choose, but it looks stunning here with grey and green
And here with darker colours and white.
Or maybe even black and brown.
I think my next fabric purchase is going to involve pulling colour out of a picture to use in a quilt.
