Lecture: Solids and Prints – Using Fabric on Your Shelf
Is there fabric in your stash that you can’t figure out how to use? Take a look at ways to feature fabrics of many varieties in one quilt. If you liked it enough to buy it, you like it enough to cut it up and use it in one fabulous quilt! Adding solids frees your thinking to put lots of fabrics together.
