Selecting fabric for a project is a personal choice. You will make the projects in this book according to your own preferences, and each quiltmaker will develop a unique style and taste. Some projects are made from soft flannels and brushed cottons to produce warm and comforting quilts; others are made from cottons to produce bright color arrangements suitable for display or for use in interior décor.

In each of the following five sections of this book, you’ll find suggestions for using different color schemes for each project, and your fabric choices will stamp your individuality on the projects. It is never possible to recreate a quilt exactly, as fabric designs and color schemes are always changing. To achieve interest in your quilt, use different tonal values. The tonal values of your quilt should include light, medium, and dark fabrics. These values are relative to each other, so one person’s medium may be another person’s light; the fabrics can even play different roles in the same quilt.
