Hi friends!
Adventure in Color Fabric Post!
Today Tammy and I are sharing the fabric amounts, color chart and general directions for our quilt Luminous for the Adventure in Color Quilt Along.
Have you decided yet which color way you want follow? Or have you picked a whole new color scheme?
General Information on the Luminous Quilt Along Project:
The General Information handout just tells you basic stuff- you know, to use a ¼” seam, the supplies and tools you may find helpful (but are not required!) and a warning!
Warning! We list both the finished size of the block (the size once it is sewn into the quilt) and the unfinished size. Be sure to trim the block to the unfinished size- NOT the finished size!
Luminous Quilt Along Color Chart
The color chart will be very handy once you pick your fabrics for your quilt. It lists the fabrics we used and it includes a spot where you can place a snippet of your fabric. As you work thru the blocks, that can be very helpful to make sure you are following along and using your fabric A or your fabric C in the right spot!
Luminous Fabric Amounts
The last handout we have for you is the back of the pattern that lists the fabric amounts. Again, we have listed the fabrics we used along with images. You can refer to the image of the quilt and see where each fabric gets used in the quilt.

Looking for a kit? Marlene Oddie of KISSed Quilts has kits available! You can find them here.
I will not be taking part of this quilt along after the way I waa treated even though I odered the first block and did not get it. I told them to keep the block and did want it sent to me.
I am sorry you had trouble getting your block. Once Tammy corrected the email address, she was able to get you the PDF. I hope all is well now!
The colors are so fun in this bundle! I like the blues, greens and yelloows 🙂
These are beautiful and so cheerful, I think I might go with your color scheme. I’ve been so focused on making Christmas-colored quilts that I’m ready for at least one “spring-y” project.
I would like lime green, aqua, bright yellow and grey.
I LOVE the rainbow colors. I think that would be an awesome quilt
I would like to use rainbow colors.
I would like to use the purples.
I like the blue and green tones
turquoises and yellow gold. Beautiful fabric colors. Thanks
A quilt in blues & greens would be stunning.
Love the brights. They remind me of jewels.
I would use all the colors in this beautiful bundle! Its a beautiful pattern and the fabric in this bundle would be beautiful in it!
I think it would be pretty in the blue/purple/green tones … because what wouldn’t be? =) Thanks to you and Northcott for the chance to win!
Wow tough choice, but I think I like the blues/greens best.
I sometimes find myself in a rut using the same colors over and over. This Quilt Along is great as it is inspiring me to widen my horizons. For this quilt, I think I’ll use purples, teals and greens – the colors at the top of the picture of Northcott Fabrics!!
I really like the blue/green purple combo. Very nice.
I would use the purples, blues and greens–beautiful!!
Teals, bright green and taupe. Although all the colors are so rich looking.
Gorgeous fabrics! Such rich colors. I’d love to get creative with these.
I can’t decide. Rainbow!
I would love to use a muted blue and green palate.
I’d use the purples for sure, along with the teals and greens
I love Toscana fabric. I’ve used it in several quilts. Turquoise colors are my favorite colors, but the purple is sooo pretty. Maybe use both.
Blues and Greens with yellow and gold would be my choice of colors to make this fun quilt.
I think I’m leaning toward the reds & golds–so pretty!
What beautiful fabrics!
Beautiful colors!
I love the dusk colors but would probably use bright teal also
I would love to use ALL the colors!
I want to use citrus colors: orange, yellow, green.
I love teals, purples, blues, and lime green!
OOPs-Lime green, dark teal with gold.
Absolutely stunning gorgeous fabrics!
I love red and white with a touch of blue and black
I love the Dusk colors and would use that. I’ve never used this fabric line before, but I do love Northcott!
Love the name of the QAL, and the colors are stunning.
What gorgeous colors, I would love to win them.
Thanks for the giveaway–gorgeous!
I would use the blue, yellow and green.
I really love the bright colors shown here. I haven’t sewn with the Northcott Luminous collections yet. Thanks for the opportunity.
I really love the colors in the Dusk collection, but both collections are beautiful!
I love the colors of the ocean and sand, so I will be using blues and tan/yellows with a sprinkling of purple and green. Would love to win!
I usually use bright colors and a light background, but this time I may go with softer colors like light purple and spring green plus a few others. I would probably still use a light background though.
I am thinking jewel tones. I usually go with the lighter background but I think I would go with the darker to make the blocks pop.
I would use a mix of blues and greens.
Wow ~ all color combinations would be lovely. I think I would use purple, turquoise, and pink for a pop of color!
The Purple and Teal are talking to me! Beautiful colors and the threads are wonderful too.
Charcoal ,purples and blues! Maybe some coral. Thank you! Yours is very lovely!
I have wanted to make a solid colored quilt for a long time. Thank you for the opportunity.
Very vibrant colors. So pretty. Enjoy your day! ???
These are beautiful, but I have a lot of batiks, so I would probably use these as a guide to pull from my stash.
I would use turquoise, purple and blue
I like the bright rainbow colors!
I am on a green kick, so that is the color I would choose.
This rainbow of colors is gorgeous
The blues and greens would be my pick.
Blues and greens are my chosen combination.
i love the dusk colorway; such a striking quilt!
Love bright colors. This color pick is gorgeous.
I tend to go with blues, but I am thinking I would use purple and greens in this quilt.
Love Bright rainbow colors with maybe a light grey as a background
Love the golds and reds combination. Very rich looking.
I definitely have more of the Dusk colors in my stash!
I love rainbow colors, but my favorites are the blue/greens!
Blues and greens together are always a favorite of mine.
I think I would use shades of pink with a light gray background.
I love the colors of Tammy’s Dusk version of Luminous. I think I may use a gray background though.
I love these colors!! They are crisp and beautiful!
