Solids bring a calmness to quilting. Here in the Graywood Designs Studio we used to shy away from solid colored fabrics. Now we have come to know them as a calming influence in our designs. We like the matte effect that they provide.
Our eyes will travel across the piecing and pause because of a solid. It is that pause and the consideration of "why did the quilter do that?" that makes the the use of a solid give punch to a quilt composition.
Our absolute favorite solids are Robert Kaufman Kona solids. You will find many of the colors that we've used in our books on our website.
