A quilt color palette inspiration suggestion I learned in a color theory course was to take a photo that you find pleasing to your eye and pull colors from the photo. Every month, I put a picture from a travel destination at the top of my newsletter (sign up at the bottom of this post if you are not receiving my newsletter yet). This month’s newsletter photo inspired this new blog feature! I will show the photo, give a small blip of where the photo was taken, pick 5 to 7 colors from the photo to make a color palette, and suggest the coordinating color wheel solid fabrics from Connecting Threads. So without further ado, let’s get started!
This month’s inspiration is from a trip we took to Normandy, France. We took a day tour from Paris and between visiting WW2 sites, we stopped for lunch in this cute village in Isigny-sur-Mer, France. The bright colors from these homes was just beautiful! The charcoal color comes from the roof tops and every other color is from one of the houses.
For the color palette, I choose the following Connecting Threads color wheel solids. You can click the circles below or search the Connecting Threads website for each color.
In addition to the solids, Connecting Threads has fabrics with designs using the solid as the base color (I will highlight a couple below). Searching the color name is easiest to see all the pattern options.
I hope you enjoyed the Normandy quilt color palette and it provided some inspiration for your next project! I am excited to show you the upcoming September color palette – coming soon! To see all the quilt color palettes I have made click here.
