Fabric Selection

Aves is based on three coordinating colour ways. The illustrated quilt uses brown/yellow, red and green. You may choose any three colours you like. In the two main colours, you require a good gradation from Dark to Medium with about five steps in tone (see Red and Green below).

I have emphasised the MAIN fabrics used. The quilt can be made in only these fabrics, then you don’t have to buy as large a variety as I have listed; you just need to substitute one of the MAIN fabrics or colours when the time comes. This quilt would also work well as a scrap quilt; the more variety the better within three loosely controlled colour-ways.

Have fun choosing your fabrics!

Here’s a line drawing. Play with the colouring!
