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.

I love these colors!! They are crisp and beautiful!
I love the colors of Tammy’s Dusk version of Luminous. I think I may use a gray background though.
I think I would use shades of pink with a light gray background.
Blues and greens together are always a favorite of mine.
I love rainbow colors, but my favorites are the blue/greens!
I definitely have more of the Dusk colors in my stash!
Love the golds and reds combination. Very rich looking.
Love Bright rainbow colors with maybe a light grey as a background
I tend to go with blues, but I am thinking I would use purple and greens in this quilt.
Love bright colors. This color pick is gorgeous.
i love the dusk colorway; such a striking quilt!
Blues and greens are my chosen combination.
The blues and greens would be my pick.
This rainbow of colors is gorgeous
I am on a green kick, so that is the color I would choose.
I like the bright rainbow colors!
I would use turquoise, purple and blue
These are beautiful, but I have a lot of batiks, so I would probably use these as a guide to pull from my stash.
Very vibrant colors. So pretty. Enjoy your day! ???
I have wanted to make a solid colored quilt for a long time. Thank you for the opportunity.
Charcoal ,purples and blues! Maybe some coral. Thank you! Yours is very lovely!
The Purple and Teal are talking to me! Beautiful colors and the threads are wonderful too.
Wow ~ all color combinations would be lovely. I think I would use purple, turquoise, and pink for a pop of color!
I would use a mix of blues and greens.
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 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 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 really love the colors in the Dusk collection, but both collections are beautiful!
I really love the bright colors shown here. I haven’t sewn with the Northcott Luminous collections yet. Thanks for the opportunity.
I would use the blue, yellow and green.
Thanks for the giveaway–gorgeous!
What gorgeous colors, I would love to win them.
Love the name of the QAL, and the colors are stunning.
I love the Dusk colors and would use that. I’ve never used this fabric line before, but I do love Northcott!
I love red and white with a touch of blue and black
Absolutely stunning gorgeous fabrics!
OOPs-Lime green, dark teal with gold.
I love teals, purples, blues, and lime green!
I want to use citrus colors: orange, yellow, green.
I would love to use ALL the colors!
I love the dusk colors but would probably use bright teal also
Beautiful colors!
What beautiful fabrics!
I think I’m leaning toward the reds & golds–so pretty!
Blues and Greens with yellow and gold would be my choice of colors to make this fun quilt.
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.
I’d use the purples for sure, along with the teals and greens
I would love to use a muted blue and green palate.
I can’t decide. Rainbow!
Gorgeous fabrics! Such rich colors. I’d love to get creative with these.
Teals, bright green and taupe. Although all the colors are so rich looking.
I would use the purples, blues and greens–beautiful!!
I really like the blue/green purple combo. Very nice.
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!!
Wow tough choice, but I think I like the blues/greens best.
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!
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!
Love the brights. They remind me of jewels.
A quilt in blues & greens would be stunning.
turquoises and yellow gold. Beautiful fabric colors. Thanks
I like the blue and green tones
I would like to use the purples.
I would like to use rainbow colors.
I LOVE the rainbow colors. I think that would be an awesome quilt
I would like lime green, aqua, bright yellow and grey.
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.
The colors are so fun in this bundle! I like the blues, greens and yelloows 🙂
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!
