Strive for balance in colors from "summary" of Sunday Morning Quilts by Amanda Jean Nyberg,Cheryl Arkison
To achieve a harmonious look in your quilts, it is essential to pay attention to the balance of colors. When selecting fabrics for your project, consider the overall color scheme and how each hue works together. Think about the contrast between light and dark fabrics, as well as the intensity of colors. By choosing a mix of bold and subtle tones, you can create visual interest in your quilt. One way to ensure balance in your color selection is to use a color wheel as a guide. Complementary colors, which are opposite each other on the color wheel, can create a vibrant and dynamic look when paired together. Analogous colors, which are next to each other on the color wheel, can provide a more subtle and cohesive palette. Experiment with different combinations to see what works best for your quilt. Another important aspect of achieving balance in colors is to consider the proportion of each hue in your design. Aim to distribute colors evenly throughout the quilt top, avoiding large blocks of one color that may overwhelm the overall look. By mixing different colors and prints in a thoughtful way, you can create a sense of harmony and unity in your quilt. Don't be afraid to play around with different color combinations and arrangements until you find the perfect balance for your project. Trust your instincts and have fun experimenting with different fabrics to see what works best. Remember that quilting is a creative and personal process, so feel free to trust your intuition when it comes to selecting colors for your quilts. By striving for balance in colors, you can create stunning and visually appealing quilts that showcase your unique style and creativity.
