Welcome to Week 4 of the Tangle Quilt Along! This week, we're diving deeper into layout and design for your quilt blocks. We'll explore practical ways to arrange your blocks, using a design wall and tricks to achieve the right look with fabric placement and block rotation. Join me as we chat about what to look for when laying out your quilt blocks and learn creative ways to make your quilt top visually stunning.Tips for Laying Out Your Quilt Blocks:Lay out your blocks on a design wall, floor, or other space. Step back often to see the whole quilt at a glance and how the colors and patterns work together.Spread Out Colors and Patterns: By spreading out colors and patterns evenly, ensure no two similar colors or patterns are clustered together. This helps maintain a harmonious and eye-catching layout.Remember to take a step back and view your layout from a distance. This fresh perspective can reveal any areas that might feel too heavy in one color or pattern, helping you to achieve a balanced look.Snap a Photo: Taking a quick photo of your layout can help you see the overall composition and identify any problem spots. Adjust as needed until you're happy with the final look!Subscribe to Southern Charm Quilts for more quilting tutorials, quilt-along videos, and fabric tips!SIGN UP (if you haven't already)https://southerncharmquilts.com/quilt-along-all-year-in-2024-with-stashwork/ GRAB A COPY OF STASHWORKhttps://meanderandmake.com/stashwork-melanie-traylor/ KITS + BUNDLEShttps://meanderandmake.com/quilt-kits/stashwork/QUILTING GIVEAWAYShttps://southerncharmquilts.com/quilting-giveaways/ FABRICS I'M USINGPetal Passion https://meanderandmake.com/fabric/collections/petal-passion/ Pure White Linen https://meanderandmake.com/art-gallery-fabrics-pure-solid-in-white-linen/ DESIGN WALL SUPPLIESFoam core board https://amzn.to/3NQn8iM (affiliate link)Cotton Batting https://meanderandmake.com/warm-and-natural-batting-90-inches-wide-by-the-yard/ FURNITURESewing cabinet - http://shrsl.com/4iu3e )affiliate link)Dingo pressing and cutting table http://shrsl.com/4ipxb (affiliate link)Sewing chair - http://shrsl.com/4iu3f (affiliate link)Daylight Slimline lamp https://amzn.to/4aj7E0y (affiliate link)HELPFUL LINKS ALL THE POSTS for this event https://southerncharmquilts.com/category/stashwork-quilt-along/tangle-quilt-along/ Find all my free quilt patterns and favorite quilting notions in one place https://southerncharmquilts.com/blog/free-pattern-library/ GET ON MY EMAIL LIST https://southerncharmquilts.com/blog/landing-page/ SHOP MY FABRIC STORE: https://meanderandmake.com/ QUILTY TSHIRTS https://meanderandmake.com/quilty-gifts/VISIT MY SITE: https://southerncharmquilts.com/INSTAGRAM: @southerncharmquilts + @meanderandmakeEMAIL ME: melanie@southerncharmquilts.com
