Fabric Considerations
Nancy's lovely quilt features fabrics from Clothworks' Remy Collection designed by Anna Griffin. The assorted florals and prints in the blocks include a variety of colors'—greens, browns, golds, and beiges—and range in value from light to dark. An easy method for choosing a palette for your block fabrics is to first choose the border fabric and use it as guide when selecting block fabrics. Be sure to select a variety of values, and include fabrics that aren't a perfect match—they add interest to the quilt!
