Choosing fabric for a new quilt is one of the most exciting parts of the whole process, but it can also feel a little overwhelming when you are standing in front of all those lovely options. In this really helpful video from Magic Little Dream Quilts, she gently explains the three things that make a quilt sing, value, colour and texture, so you can put your fabrics together with confidence.
Here is why this one is worth a watch:
- It demystifies value. Understanding light and dark is often the secret to a quilt that really pops, and this video makes it wonderfully easy to grasp.
- It takes the worry out of colour. You will come away with a gentle, practical way to combine colours that feel harmonious and happy.
- It celebrates texture. Learning to mix different prints and textures adds that lovely finishing touch to any project.
Once you start playing with value and colour, have a peek at our solids collection, where pure, rich shades make it easy to see exactly how your fabrics work together. We would love to see what you create!
