Barnett's Laptop Hoops

Putting together fabrics and colors for a quilt can be great fun.  There are no rules, just guidelines that help lead a quilter to a beautiful combination for a striking quilt. Each fabric plays a different part in making the quilt a piece of art.

Start Here for Inspiration
Often a large floral with many colors is the best place to start.  Use it in large pieces and perhaps the border. Add an interesting background that creates interest on its own with a tonal design but serves as a backdrop for all the other prints in the quilt. Accent with a geometric print to "give the eye" visual refief from all the other prints in the quilt.
