**Video on getting ready for the Sew along!**
In this video I walk through selecting fabric and some tips you may want to try.
Quilt Behind me is ‘The Secret Garden’ https://blog.patsloan.com/2016-my-secret-garden/ this is a series of posts from a block of the month done a few years ago.
**Fabric chat!**
This is a easy going project that I will be sewing right along with you! I'm going to fabric I own and as of today (see the video) I'm not sure what fabric I want to use.
I do highly recommend that you select fabrics that go together for the sashing and border. They will be really determine the color of the quilt.
Part of this sew along is going to be a lot of talk about color placement. It will be fun!
Some great options for how to pull fabric
- Select your border fabric and work colors that go with it
- Use 2 colors. Red/White Blue/White Gray/Yellow Pink/Green full loads of fabrics to work together
- Pick a classic Red/White/Blue color scheme
- Try a new combo like Gray/Yellow/Teal
- If you have saved some unique fabric like Tula Pink, Kaffe Fassett, or Maybe a theme fabric like Butterflys or Alice in Wonderland, get those out to use them
