Glory Quilts - Resources - Articles

*~~**	Cut 2" squares
*~~**	Use 100% cotton fabrics. Values should range from very light to very dark, with plenty of "mediums".
*~~**	Use only prints; no solids, stripes, geometrics, plaids, etc.
*~~**	The prints should have at least three colors. Some two-color prints will work for the very lightest and darkest places, but do not use solids. Use the "wrong" side of your fabrics, too.
*~~**	Use many different colors, even if you are blending a design from one hue to another. (blue to purple, as well as dark to light)
*~~**	Use ugly and beautiful prints. Novelty prints, like scenic views, animals, people, nursery, seasonal patterns, etc. can be very helpful.
*~~**	Big, splashy florals and paisleys are most useful, but it's also good to maintain contrast of scale: large, medium, and even some smaller prints.
*~~**	Any print that reminds you of a watercolor painting will work, but don't neglect earth tones.
*~~**	Prints should not be rigid repeats of one motif: the pattern should flow off the edges of your 2” square. Use a Ruby Beholder® or other window template to see the finished 1 1/2” square.
*~~**	You need a lot of different fabrics for a colorwash quilt. You may like to bring plenty of squares and swap with other students in the class.
*~~**	Border fabrics should be selected after the design portion of the quilt has been completed.

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
