Sometimes when we audition and play with fabrics, the hues come together after elimination of the colours which seems right when we place them in a group. Only then to discover that what seems to be right, is in actual fact a group of red herrings.
These six fabrics was removed from the group, together they dance and work well, just not with the collection above.
It has to have five fabrics in groups of four per colour. Taking the picture and changing it too grey scale helps with this, removing the colour and seeing the values only.
From the top: green, dark blue, medium blue/turquoise-teal, lights medium to light. The last one is a zinger, which will make the quilt pop and create movement. If this fabric was just plain white it will make it too bland. Today started off as a rainy day, so it will be a relaxing day...
Such pretty fabrics. I like the grey scale photo idea. It is really helpful.
ReplyDeleteThose blues are some of my favorite colors!

ReplyDeleteSuch pretty fabrics. I do like the blues .
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip of using grey scaled photos to help with fabric auditions. A zinger fabric is a good thing.
