Incorporate negative space from "summary" of Sunday Morning Quilts by Amanda Jean Nyberg,Cheryl Arkison
The idea of using negative space in quilting is essential to creating a balanced and visually appealing design. Negative space refers to the empty areas in a quilt that surround the main design elements. By incorporating negative space effectively, you can highlight the focal points of your quilt and create a sense of movement and depth.
One way to incorporate negative space is to use solid fabrics or low-volume prints for the background of your quilt. This allows the main design elements to stand out and draw the viewer's eye. By using a simple background, you can create a clean and modern look that is both visually striking and easy to piece together.
Another technique for incorporating negative space is to use large blocks of solid color to create contrast with smaller, more intricate design elements. This contrast helps to define the main focal points of the quilt and adds interest and drama to the overall composition.
In addition to using solid fabrics, you can also experiment with different quilting techniques to enhance the negative space in your design. For example, you could use negative space as a canvas for intricate free-motion quilting or geometric lines that complement the main design elements.
By playing with the balance of positive and negative space in your quilt, you can create a dynamic and engaging composition that captivates the viewer's attention. Whether you choose to keep the negative space minimal or make it a central part of your design, incorporating negative space is a powerful way to elevate your quilting projects to the next level.
