Workshop Fabric Ideas

Rainbow Split Broken Star

Rainbow Split Broken Star

This quilt is dazzling in any color combination!  Consider:  

  • a dark star on a light background, or
  • light diamonds on a dark background.
  • hand dyed fabrics – create gradations and cut the design shapes to take advantage of the light-to-dark shading.

Color Selection Strategy:

  • several images below do not feature borders – borders are optional
  • select border fabric first – select fabrics according to the colors in the border fabric
  • split diamonds – two shades or values for each diamond: two blue, green, red, etc.
  • medium & dark diamond fabrics on a light background OR
  • light & medium diamond fabrics on a dark background
  • split diamonds featured on dyed or gradated backgrounds (typically requires more yardage to fussy cut the setting squares and triangles to take advantage of the fabric print)
