Use Stonehenge Gradations Brights to add texture to your quilt

What a challenge to design with such bright and dreamy colors in the middle of a Northern Ontario winter! This quilt came out of my wish to see spring flowers – soon! I combined my wishing with the Amethyst colorway of Northcott’s Stonehenge Gradations Brights to create this end of winter/beginning of spring quilt.

The new colorways have 5 different fabrics in them so if purple isn’t your thing (or you love pink tulips!) you can easily switch out one Gradations Brights colorway for another. Hibiscus and Sunglow would also create flowers and stars with texture to cast a spring glow on your quilt.

The Northcott Gradations Brights work well in this design because I don’t have to worry about the direction of my pieces – anyway I put them together glows! Join me tomorrow as we start cutting the pieces to make the quilt.
