OTHER COLORFUL IDEAS
With so many fun watercolor washes to choose
from, it can be hard to think of what all the ideas
could look like! We threw together a few examples
throughout this tutorial to show you various ways
of combining the blocks and backgrounds to get
different results.
On this page, we have constructed the same
mini quilt layout, but have displayed it in each of
the three different colorways available to choose
from. The best part? There’s no rules for which
printed fabric designs you want in your finished
quilt, so you can even get other creative ideas,
like mixing up the two printed fabric techniques
for blocks that are sure to be unique to you.
Try using the Abstract Watercolor
PDFs as your base fabric for
the first 8 designs instead of the
corresponding backgrounds for an
even brighter play on color with your
appliqué blocks!
Create your quilt using all the Cool
options in your chosen colorway
for a beautiful wash of coordinating
tones that are reminiscent of
mermaid-inspired hues.
By using an all Warm colorway
in your quilt, you’ll end up with
saturated tones that made us think
of a warm summer evening (and the
color of popsicles)!
