-
The two outside
strips should be dramatically different from each other.
-
The fabrics
should have contrast in value (light, medium and dark).
-
Use fabrics
with varying textures and scales.
-
Consider using
two different color families, possibly adding accents of a third color.
-
You might
want to use theme fabrics to make a quilt for Christmas, Valentine's
Day, or that special someone's birthday.
-
Fabric will
be cut into strips, so you need yardage from selvedge to selvedge.� Fabric
amounts vary depending on the width of the strips you cut out of each.� A
guideline to use is a minimum of � yard and a maximum of 1 � yards for
each fabric.� Extra fabric is needed for borders.
-
Bring fabric
that is prepared to work with.� Which means, pre-wash if you are going
to pre-wash (sometimes I do, and sometimes I don�t).� Either way, press
the fabric, and re-fold with the selvedge edges together, so that the
folded edge is also even (no bunches).
