Elizabeth Hartman Patchwork Quilt Patterns — Fabric Selection and Piecing

Choosing fabrics is one of the most enjoyable parts of making an Elizabeth Hartman quilt.

Her designs often rely on carefully arranged contrasting fabrics to define the individual parts of each animal or character.

Choosing Colors for Animal Quilt Blocks

Select fabrics that provide enough contrast to distinguish faces, ears, paws, clothing, and other details.

A thoughtfully coordinated palette helps the pieced shapes remain clear and recognizable.

Solids and Blender Fabrics

Solids and subtle blender fabrics are excellent choices for Elizabeth Hartman's geometric designs.
