MORE PATCHWORK ILLUSION: FABRIC SUGGESTIONS
FABRIC: choose two color families, such as blue, pink, green, or purple. Any colors will work, so don't worry about "matching" the color families to each other. Bring 2-6 lights, 2-6 medium and 2-6 darks in that family. Make sure your fabric is not busy prints. A fat quarter of each is fine. You may bring more color families or more values if you wish.
What is a busy print? Any high contrast print such as white over a dark color, a small calico print or a "loud" print.
These fabrics are good examples of the types of fabrics you should bring for this class. Notice the prints are not busy. These type of "tone-on-tone" prints work best for this class.
