Gravity Quilt Block Colors: Block 1 - Horizon
A few local & online quilt shops have started their Gravity block of the month programs, and the requests about fabric color placements within the blocks have started to come in. So I thought it might be a good idea to have a some blog posts for those of you who are interested in making a spot on Gravity quilt.
This is the entire kit. The kit includes the book, 6 background fabrics and 3 packs of 10" squares - 36 squares are in each pack:
The fabrics are in order in the pack. The first 6 in the pack are fabrics A through F of Block 1, as noted in the book:
I suggest taping a small scrap of each fabric next to the diagrams in the book as you go. Cut desired shapes first and then use a scrap vs. cutting a corner off of each 10" square.
Now, as I mentioned in the Introduction of the book, the intention is that you will have fun making your Gravity quilt and have fun with the subtle color variations within the Gravity quilt blocks. There is no need to stress about precisely matching fabric or color placement from block to block. The beauty of this design, and the variety of fabrics and colors used to create it, is that each quilt will take on a subtle and distinct look and feel of its own. With that in mind, for those of you who REALLY want to know which colors I used where, I hope you will find these posts to be helpful.
If you're looking to order a Gravity Quilt kit, they are available now from Fat Quarter Shop and Hawthorne Threads, as well as other local and online quilt shops.
Tell us in the comments below: Will you be making a "spot on" Gravity quilt? Will you mix it up with your kit colors? OR are you making a Gravity quilt entirely of your own fabric selection, or something else?
Remember to share your photos on social media with the #GravityQuilt tag & have fun!
