The Elena Quilt Pattern Mockups
Today I get to share some mockups that I put together using the Elena Quilt Pattern. You guys know this is my favorite and I may have gone a little bit overboard with the number of mockups this time. It was too fun!
I've tried to get a good mix of styles and options here. Let me warn you before you scroll down: I even did a mockup with a black background fabric. I know, shocking. There are a couple of collections here that aren't quite available yet but I couldn't help myself and included them anyway.
A few notes about fabric selection with your pattern that you might find helpful:
- One really fun option is to use two different shades or values of a color for each block. For example, a block with a light green and dark green, one with a light pink and dark pink, etc. I did that in several of the mockups because it worked so nicely. This would be a good option for solids or basics or collections like Bee Plaid below where there are various prints in similar colors.
- Make sure that your cornerstone fabric stands out. I think that makes a big difference in the design!
- Larger scale prints can get a little lost in these blocks. You certainly can use them, but make sure you pair them with a smaller scale print or solid so that you don't lose the shape of the block.
- Spread that the darker/light value fabrics evenly over the quilt.
I hope you find that helpful - I'm more of a visual person so these mockups might be even more helpful for you.
