Focus Fabrics...where are they?
Yikes. I went through my stash tonight in search of focus fabrics to
use for my Paper Pieced Stars BOM and I found that ...I don't have many! Who stole my focus fabrics? Most of my fabrics that I would consider focus fabrics are either juvenile fabrics or really LOUD fabrics. What was I thinking? I guess I have to go on a S.E.X. tour of the on-line fabric stores to find some real focus fabrics. Darn....

I don't think I know the term "focus fabrics". How are they different from
other fabrics? Sharon Harper wrote in message u...

Cozy: A focus fabric is the fabric chosen by the quilt maker as
the central fabric. Generally it has several colors and values, and the quilt maker will select her supporting fabric to complement the focus fabric. This method of fabric selection helps the quilt maker focus her attention on fabric options that work nicely together. PAT in VA/USA PS: You can use this method to select a nice group and then omit the focus fabric! cozy wrote: I don't think I know the term "focus fabrics".

The focus is a fabric which is: a) very colorful b) fairly large in design or repeat c) something you absolutely adore, something you'll never get tired of, a fabric you could look at years later and still love. Focus fabrics are often florals, paisleys, madras plaids. They might be conversation or novelties though that's never my choice. They're not 2-color stripes or 2-color polka dots, solid looking marbles. Those are supporting fabrics, not the main event. --Lia |
