A Ray of Sunlight: Understanding Color Schemes
Each time I unrolled a bolt of fabric for the Cozy Sunshine Quilt, I felt like an artist about to paint a masterpiece.
Choosing your color palette can significantly affect the vibe of the quilt.
Bright yellows paired with playful blues and touches of soft gray create just the right balance, echoing the joy of a sunny day!
