A Striking Country Quilt Cozy and Warm

There’s No Limit To The Color Ways.

A warm winter quilt can be made using a mix of wintry, or autumn colors, but it’s the little quirks that make each quilt one of a kind.

 

Use Cheryl Walls guideline for choosing colors for a striking effect. There are categories of dark, light and medium. Darks are dark blues, purples, reds,greens, olives, browns and black. Mix with lighter shades of the same colors, as well as whites, creams, tans and yellows. Medium colors are those that don’t fit into light or dark. They depend on how they are combined in the fabric. When a mix of all three are put together it creates a definite contrast, keeping the finished design clear and defined.

Red, green, gold and dark blue are always nice together. If the warm, country, and deep, rich hues, of tan, red, blue, and black don’t appeal to you, changing colors is an option, and for any season through the year.

Create an easy scrappy quilt, using an interesting dis-array of blocks. Mix and match of colors using Cheryls guidelines to make the quilt a little unique with eye catching contrasts.

This Country Comforts quilt design can be found in Cheryl Walls “At Home With Country Quilts-13 Patchwork Patterns” book. You don’t have to be limited to the colorways presented in the book. All are all either lap or wall sized, however, the versatile patterns can easily be adjusted to increase the size.
