Hi First name, 

 

How are you getting on with your preparations for the Make Time Sewalong? Have you started thinking about colours and fabrics yet?

 

It can be really exciting finding the perfect quilt pattern and purchasing it. Suddenly you realise you now need to choose the fabric to make it in. And it can be paralysing right? The infinite choice of colour combinations can somewhat stop us in our tracks can't it!? The main purpose of hosting a sewalong is to encourage (read: cajole ;-)) you along with the rest of the group to make the quilt ;-) But if you get bogged down with the first step of choosing your fabrics then we might not get you to the sewing stage on time….

 

So I've put together a blog post outlining some fabulous resources that can help you get past that moment of overwhelm and help you narrow down and choose your colours and your fabrics.

In the blog post I talk about some of the methods I use to choose colour combinations and introduce you to two fabulous apps: Quilty Solid; and Quilt Ink. I've recorded video tutorials on how to use both of these and you can watch these on the blog. So grab a cuppa and click the button below to have a read and watch the videos.

Once you've settled on your colour combination, please do share it with us all in the free Facebook group so we can all ooh and aah over your choices! You might download an image from Quilt Ink of your coloured in mock up. Or maybe share with us your fabric pull.  We'd love to see what your quilt will look like!

Can't wait to see what colours you choose!
