How to pick fabric for this quilt:

Pick the main color for your quilt. Pick a dark (Fabric 1) and a medium/light (Fabric 2) of that same color - you want these two fabrics to be different enough that they do not blend together.

For Fabric 4, pick a complimentary or analogous color. Example: if you pick green, a complimentary color would be red, or an analogous color would be a lime green or a teal/blue.

For Fabric 3, pick a neutral or blender that will allow the other 3 fabrics to stand out - you do not want an overpowering print on this fabric.

Large print in any of your fabrics will take away from the overall design.
