Bonnie Hunter has announced her new mystery quilt. Her colors are pink, green, turquoise and yellow with the use of black and a white or cream. I want to use the Fig Tree Somerset line. I need 4 contrasting colors and then will use the dark brown as the black.
I tore open a mini charm pack to look at color selections.
Seems like a lot of contrast laid out that way. But not so much laid out this way. Since it is a mystery, I'll have no control.
So thinking about the gray-ish color instead.
Which combination do you like best? Do you think the bottom one has enough contrast?
Happy Stitching!
I like the one with grey best.The top one makes it look too green, I think.
ReplyDeleteGo with your gut...since it's a mystery, it's hard to say :) I am sitting this one out as I still need to finish the backing and quilt the Celtic solstice one! If it was me, I'd stick with the green but I really love a good contrast.
ReplyDeleteI agree I like the grey too!
ReplyDeleteTo check for contrast try turning your photo into a black and white photo. That will show if you have enough contrast and change in values.
ReplyDeleteAnd remember that Bonnie uses a range of fabrics---from dark to light ---in her chosen color family to create enough contrast.
