Lessons from Projects
This scrappy quilt shows that you can get a good fabric contrast when using your stash, as long as you use a variety of contrasting colors. Here, the design focuses on 30 medium to dark hues in green, brown, and burgundy, and when set among a range of pink prints for the quilt’s background, stands out for a great look.
