Using dark red
and black fabrics (or your choice of dark colored fabrics), you will
create a rich-looking quilt while learning how to produce contrast
with dark fabrics. Make sure the darks you pick are really dark,
not medium or medium dark. Of course, the recipe is included in
your pattern.
You'll need
dark fabrics. I chose dark red and black. You can choose any two
dark colors, just make certain that they are dark, not medium or
medium dark. Note: Some black fabrics don't read dark if they have
light designs on them. Choose carefully!
