Luminous Quilt Along: Quilt Fabric Requirements

January 15, 2020January 21, 2020 69 comments

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.

Luminous Quilt Along project: Quilt Fabric Requirements featured by top US quilting and sewing blog, Seams Like a Dream Quilt Designs, reveals the fabric amounts for Luminous in 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 project: Quilt Fabric Requirements featured by top US quilting and sewing blog, Seams Like a Dream Quilt Designs, reveals the fabric amounts for Luminous in the Adventure in Color Quilt Along.

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.

    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 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 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.
