Play with texture and pattern from "summary" of Sunday Morning Quilts by Amanda Jean Nyberg,Cheryl Arkison
When you start to think about texture and pattern in your quilts, you open up a whole new world of design possibilities. Texture can be created with fabric choices, quilting techniques, and even the way you cut and piece your blocks. Mixing different textures within a quilt can add depth and interest to your design. Consider using a mix of solids, prints, and even different types of fabrics like linen or flannel to create a unique textural element in your quilt. Don't be afraid to experiment with combining different fabric weights and textures - the contrast can really make your quilt pop. In addition to texture, patterns play a crucial role in quilt design. Mixing and matching different patterns can create a dynamic and visually appealing quilt. Try combining simple geometric prints with more intricate floral designs, or mix stripes and polka dots for a fun and whimsical look. Playing with scale is another way to add interest to your quilt design. Consider using large-scale prints alongside smaller prints for a bold and eye-catching effect. Mixing different scales can create a sense of movement and energy in your quilt. When it comes to quilting, don't be afraid to experiment with different techniques and designs. Quilting can add texture and dimension to your quilt, enhancing the overall look and feel. Consider using different quilting patterns in different areas of your quilt to create a cohesive yet dynamic design.- The key to playing with texture and pattern in your quilts is to have fun and experiment. Don't be afraid to try new things and push the boundaries of traditional quilt design. By mixing different textures, patterns, and quilting techniques, you can create truly unique and stunning quilts that reflect your own personal style and creativity.
