Colors for quilts

After I made this quilt, I fell in love with blue color and blue+green combination !

Dupa ce am facut acest quilt, m-am indragostit de albastru si mai ales de combinatia albastru+verde !

Don’t you know what colors to use for your next quilt ? Just pick up a fabric you like !
Look at its colors and choose some fabrics in those colors !
This fabric was the starting-point for my color scheme:

Nu stiti ce culori sa folositi pentru urmatorul quilt ? Alegeti o bucata de material care va place !
Uitati-va la culori si selectati cateva materiale in acele culori.
Eu am pornit de la acest material:

And these are the fabrics I selected from my stash; I don’t have a big stash at all so I felt very lucky that I found these:

Si aceste sunt materialele alese din micul meu “stoc”, n-am avut prea multe posibilitati de alegere, dar din fericire ce am avut s-a potrivit:

I paid attention to a few details, like having a light color, a dark one, some medium colors and a bold one .

Also it’ s great if you can have different textures or patterns, as well as different scales of print.

For some people maybe this is a too cool color scheme. But I like it.
I would have chosen an yellow (or an orange ) if I would have want to warm the colors. Or I could spread warm colors in other places in the room.

Am acordat atentie catorva detalii: sa am o culoare deschisa, una inchisa, cateva medii si una mai tipatoare !
E bine daca se poate sa ai si o diversitate de modele (nu doar materiale simple, uni) sau materiale cu imprimeuri diferite (mai mici si mai mari).

Schema aceasta de culori e cam rece pentru unele gusturi, poate, dar mie imi place la nebunie.

Se poate adauga un galben (sau portocaliu) pentru a o mai indulci, sau se pot utiliza alte obiecte de aceasta culoare imprastiate prin camera.

Regardless of colors or rules , I think all the quilts are beautiful !

Dar indiferent de culori sau reguli, eu cred ca toate quilturile sunt frumoase.

Hello! I stumbled upon your blog and have been enjoying your work and energy.

Keep following your muse!

One quick question… how long does it take you to do a larger shadow trapunto quilt? I’ve taken a class before with Karen McTavish, so I am aware of all the work.

Hi Carla,

Thank you for your kind words, I am glad you enjoy my quilts.

The largest shadow trapunto quilt is 52 x 52 inch and I made it in 2 months ( including the design ). It took me 2 weeks to cut the batting away, but all the steps are time-consuming, including the quilting because I don’t have a longarm machine.

Happy quilting,
Geta
