Today I want to walk you through the process of playing with color. This is not color theory 101 but, I can share with you a few tricks that you might enjoy :) So let's get started!
We will be using 1 focal fabric from the Sunkissed by Moda line called Limeaid Summer Gardern.
So let's start playing with color!
When you see this gorgeous fabric in color, your eye is immediately drawn to the greens.
Take away the green and add some Pink Sorbet. Now where does eye go?
You begin to see more of the pink pop out at you. The smaller pink flowers are coming to life and the green tones down a bit.
Now let's add a little orange to the mix.
Are your eyes starting to see a little more hint of orange in our focal fabric? Did you really notice the orange in the first few pictures?
Let's try something else!
Go back to the original green but, add the pink and orange into the mix. Now the centers of the flowers are beginning to pop out a little more with orange and pink.
Moral of the story?
Fabric is FUN. Play around with color and fabrics. If you think you may get it wrong, you are wrong.
You can't go wrong when you put your heart into a quilt. It is the little imperfections that make all of us so perfect so why can't all of our little imperfections in our quilts make them perfect too?
Now it is your turn, how do you play with color?
