This is a great quilt for using your accumulated scraps. Use small amounts (1/4 yards are great or fat quarters) of fabrics in a range of colors that go from light to dark.
-
Batiks, solids, or textures work well, smaller scale commercial prints are fine, too.
-
Hand-dyes are wonderful to use, as well as wild graphics.
-
Add small amounts (1/8 yard or so) of neon or bright fabric like lime green or fuchsia if you have it on hand.

More on Pat Pauly...
With works that carry a graphic, color-saturated palette using her hand printed fabric, Pat Pauly’s fiber art is seen around the world. Her textile work began in the early 1980s and was first accepted in Quilt National ’83, and has continued being shown in major exhibitions. Her fiber art’s distinction is with using a strong abstraction of natural forms and complex color combinations. Her work is in both private and public collections.
​
With a degree in art, and graduate work in design and fine art, Pat chose fiber art as the perfect amalgam of construction, painting and printmaking. She has taught throughout the United States, Canada, and Australia, in design and surface design. Her lectures are fast paced, funny, and often speak on the intersection of traditional quilt arts with contemporary fiber art. She brings the same pace and relaxed atmosphere to her workshops.
​
Often seen in exhibitions, Pat’s work is also widely published, and she has appeared in Quilting Arts televised segments.
