Selecting the fabrics
U
sually when I make a quilt, the last thing I
select is the thread, and I pick it to match
or contrast the fabrics in the finished quilt
top. Today, since I have a limited numbers of colors
of WonderFil threads to choose from, I’m working
backwards.
I really love the blues and greens in my selection
of threads, so I picked those and started to select
fabrics to match. I wanted the quilting to stand out,
so I picked a white-on-white for the background
and a selection of dark blues, medium blues and
teals for my design.
