Fabric Palette Friday #14: Warm and Patterned

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! Since last week went blue, it only seemed right to pivot to the other side of the color spectrum with a cozy, warm palette. If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you know I tend to gravitate toward cooler colors, but I have to say, this bundle is giving me all the feels. Like last week, this palette began with a few Essex linens, which fell into the middle of the array. They were very saturated and dense, so I wanted to lighten things up with some lighter prints, as well as a few more light linens.

Then, I began pulling additional prints of different values within the red, orange, and yellow hues I’d targeted. The lighter peaches and salmons and darker mustard animal print increase the range of the bundle. I love how the flying geese print on top includes lot of values in one print, which really helps the colors in the bundle coalesce.

As usual, this palette includes a solid balance of prints, solids, and textured fabrics. A quilt made from these fabrics would give your eyes lots of places to “travel” and “rest,” making for a more interesting visual.
