LIGHT AND BRIGHT
Picking colors for your garden has never been so fun! Since
appliqué is the star of the show in this quilt, you can have
fun with your fabric choices! We chose a neutral taupe
base to make the appliqué pop off the quilt with our bright
and vibrant batik fabrics! Use your real life garden as your
inspiration when you pick your colors such as bright reds,
warm yellows, and lovely lavenders. As for the borders, keep
it simple so that you don’t distract from the center design of
each quilt block. We made the border a taupe base with a
flash of dark teal for some interest. For all of your appliqués,
try fabrics with fun textures and subtle patterns. Grunges and
batiks are the perfect options for this floral quilt.
THREADS
TO MATCH
Match your threads to
your appliqués so that
they do not distract from
the eye catching fabric.
BATIK BONANZA
Vibrant batiks are the way
to go! Contrast your bright
appliqués with a neutral
base for an eye
catching design.
NOTIONS
As with most quilting
collections, a sharp
pair of embroidery
scissors, a rotary cutter,
and a ruler are vital.
