Hello,
I am new to the forum. I just joined today! I have been reading the messages for a while and feel like this is a very friendly and helpful forum.
I am interested in doing the Yellow brick road quilt and wondering if those
who have done it have any suggestions especially as to color since that is one of the things I struggle with. I am ordering the pattern but the back just lists the fabric requirements I think. I will pick a theme fabric and then go from there, but how many different colors does one choose. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Joan

Hi Joan, Welcome! I've made quite a few Yellow Brick Road quilts, you can
use as many or little fabrics with this design. Great choice for a beginning
quilt as you can't go wrong with it! Good Luck! You now know where to look
if you need help. :roll:

Hi Joan Welcome
I have made two of them, will post pics when I get home from work. The number of different fabrics/colors is completely up to you. My first I only used four or five different fabrics, the second I used a collection of approximately 20 different fats. In fact I have the blocks done, but haven't sewn them together. I might just do that this evening for you :)
This is a great quilt if you are beginning. The first time I made the quilt I did make some of the blocks backwards but it came out ok.

Thanks to all for your wonderful replies. I have been quilting for a while, and wanted to do the YBR because it is easy. But as I mentioned I struggle with color choices because I have bought some fabrics which I at first really liked but then when I began to put the blocks together it didn't look good at all. This has happaned so many times that I have gotten discouraged. But I still keep trying.
Thanks again.
Joan
Thanks again.
