The Danica Quilt

This is a very simple quilt that I created for a very special niece. These juvenile prints prints in bright colors made the quilt very fun to piece! The pattern is a basic square-in-square, great for precuts. I used 60 charm squares and 40 jelly roll strips, but a variety of fat quarters would do the trick!

Organizing Your Fabric Stash: Step 5

This is the fifth and final installment in a series on Organizing your Fabric Stash. While some of these tips apply to other crafts, I'm focusing here on fabric. Check back later for tips on organizing your Notions! Before reading, be sure to check out Step 1: Let It Go , Step 2: Gathering Projects Together , Step 3: Organizing Your Fabric By Size , and Step 4: Organizing Your Fabric By Material . Step 5: Organizing Fabric by Color One of the keys to great quilt design is the creative use of color. Organizing your fabrics according to the color wheel will help you see new and interesting possibilities! Florals, Plaids, Polkadots, & Animal Prints: These distinctive patterns can be held back or mixed into the colorwheel depending on their main color. I usually hold “loud” fabrics with big designs back in their own section. Batiks: Batik fabrics have such a distinctive look! I usually keep them in their own section, still organized by the color wheel Warm
