Fabrics
for BOM 9-9-9
The quilt was designed with the idea of using 12 fabrics, but it is certainly
possible to do the quilt with fewer fabrics and certainly for a scrappy look you
can use many more.
The beginning of this BOM project is here.
To help you visualize the placement of the fabrics in the quilt I have made 12 mini-quilt layouts, each shows the placement of ONE fabric. This way you can have an idea of how many places and in how many blocks each fabric appears.
A few fabrics are used very little and you may well have something in your scrap stash to use. Others are significant in the overall look of the quilt and you will want to use a fabric of that tonal quality or brightness in all the spots where it appears, even if you use different actual fabric prints or solids.
Note: I have not included any fabric for border of quilt - I prefer to let you wait and audition fabrics for the border after you have finished the top. The border shown in the diagrams here is a 3 inch border.
The finished size of the quilt with a 3" border would be 90" x 102". The blocks are 12" blocks.
I do NOT mean that the colors of fabric should match the colors below,
they are just pulled from one quilt top (shown at the very bottom of this page)
as an example.
See 5 other sample quilt tops
here for more ideas.
