SEW KATIE DID:Warm and Cool Hearts Value Quilt Tutorial Full

Value quilts are some of the first quilts I ever made.

Most of us addicted to fabric will find this style of quilt a great display tool for your fabric stash.   Baby quilts, wall hangings, bed quilts, or a favorite blankie to cuddle up in on the couch, make it any size you want.

No worries on making fabrics match, we’re going to think in values, or the degree of lightness or darkness of a color.

Close up you won’t notice a design so much, but from a distance your eye will pull it.

Work with a design wall or other tools like the black and white option on a camera phone.  A vertical surface is an essential tool that helps you determine how the values of your fabrics are working to create contrast, and thus design and form.  I have some tips on making your own design wall here.

——————————————————————–

-CUT YOUR FABRICS SQUARES:  

I used 6-inch squares, but you may go smaller or larger.

-SORT YOUR SQUARES:

Divide them in piles into light, medium and dark.  (For the heart shapes make one light and one dark pile).

3360732187_c056355838

Our eyes tend to like Mediums.  Most of your stash is likely made up of this value.  Try to direct your fabric buying obsession to Light and Dark values too (that’s right, buy more fabric!).

Some fabrics are deceptive and you won’t immediately know into which pile to place them.  Not to worry, the questionable squares will be sorted out in the next step.  Because value is relative, one square will always be lighter or darker than another.

-PAIR (2) SQUARES RIGHT SIDES TOGETHER:

Now forget about light, medium and dark.  One square just needs to be lighter in value when compared to its mate.

Pull a square from one of the Light, Medium or Dark piles and match it with another value (lighter or darker), until you have one big stack of pairs.

  • *If the pair seems questionable in their value difference put them up together on the design wall.  Value is best determined at a distance so step back if the contrast in values isn’t obvious.  
  • *I generally stay away from large scale prints due to the fact that they generally have many values to create the design on them.
  • *You might have to rearrange some of your squares at the end.

 

-DRAW THE LINE:

Now draw a diagonal line with a pen or pencil across the wrong side of the mated squares.

3360732171_2da34b4455

-SEW:

Sew a quarter inch seam on each side of that line.  I generally chain piece a few at a time.

Set your seam with a brief press.

With your rotary cutter, cut on the penned line to make two squares.

Then press the seam open or to the side.

-TRIM YOUR SQUARES SQUARE;):

Not everyone cuts their squares down, some only cut off the dog ears.  I think it’s time well spent.  In the end your quilt should come out completely square and points should match if all your squares are the same size.

I find the easiest method is to buy a template a 1/2″ smaller then the originally size of your un-sewn squares (i.e. I cut all my squares 6 inches, so my squaring up template is 5.5).”  Line up the diagonal of the template with the diagonal of your block and cut around.

If you want to use the original template (in my case 6″) try this:

Using your template, line the diagonal line of the template with the diagonal of your hst block.  We’ll square these up to be 5.5.”

3361761480_85bb35e3021

3361761496_1eba812829

Square up two sides, cutting as little off as possible. See how I have the template to the edge, and the diagonal lined up?  Now you know those two sides are square.

3361761484_982647c8f0

Flip the hst block (not the template), line up the triangular corner of the template with the squared side of the hst block (5.5″ in this case) and square up the second side.  Now you have a perfect square.

———————————————————————-

Now is the time to arrange them on your design wall to see what looks best.

Here are some examples starting with a light and a dark center.  You can also pinwheel, off-set, zig zag, place them on point….

You will want to give yourself some distance from your monitor to really see the how values make the design take form.

LIGHT:

3362607191_a2a9a91bc6

DARK:

3362607181_9e16855033

Once you have your design, START SEWING!

Hopefully this little lesson will help with your quilt design in general.

SOME TIPS FOR DESIGNING WITH VALUE:

*Use an assortment of light, medium and dark to create contrast.  Darks and lights together will create “high contrast” and mediums mixed in will give your design a softer edge or feel because mediums “soften” the contrast.

*If you’re not really thrilled with how a quilt turned out, it probably has to due with a problem with value.

*For a successful design, value is more important than color.  Same goes for duplicating a quilt you see.  Match the values and proportions, not the colors/fabric for success.

If you end up making a Value Quilt I would love to see it, and have created a Value Quilts Flickr Group.

    *sigh* so the other day you got the bits and pieces (or whatever it’s called) quilt stuck in my head, and now this. Please slow down, I’m struggling to keep up 😉

    Seriously though, this is a great way to use up leftovers from charm packs.
    Thank you!!!!! x

    This is so fantastic! Thanks for the tutorial.

    Oh, THANK YOU. I’ve been overwhelmed by my fabric stash and wanting to play with all my fabrics at once. This will allow me to do that AND to fill that empty spot above the fireplace. Happy, happy day!

    This is great! I’m not sure if understand everything completely but I would love to give it a try.

  5. Tacha says

    March 20, 2009 at 7:44 pm

    Great tutorial. I know that I always tend toward mid values and I needed a push to buy some darker and lighter values. I will definitely be trying this out. Thanks.

    Great tutorial. Very easy to understand. I’ve saved it in my bookmarks so i can have a go after the 4 I’m working on now.

    March 21, 2009 at 11:11 am

    o yes I will let you know. Thank you. I’m afraid I will not be able to try it soon though! But I’m very tempted to drop my current projects to start on this one! : )

  9. Adina says

    March 22, 2009 at 7:01 pm

    Thanks for this one. And thanks for not picking prints from the same fabric line for the whole thing. (Those are supposed to match, right?) But it did help me see how value works when the fabrics have nothing else in common but…well, value.

  10. JulieFrick says

    March 22, 2009 at 9:33 pm

    One thing I’m not certain about- why have three piles/values? The photo looks like you’re alternating between lights and darks. Where do the mediums come in?

      I was wondering that too.

    I love it! So much so that this morning, as soon as I’d seen it I started making one. I have loads of fabric scraps to use although a lot of them are not as highly patterned as yours which I think makes yours looks extra stunning.

  13. Nova says

    HI! Just found you via the sew mama sew link. This is a great tutorial and has given me an insight into new ways and angles to come at quilt design, thanks.xxx

    I’ve been after doing this style quilt for some time now. I really like your version as it uses larger pieces. I have alot of larger scale designs so think your quilt layout would be perfect when I finish my quilts currently in production of course!. Great tutorial thanks.

  15. Nikki says

    This is so great! I will definitely be adding it to my things to do!

    April 25, 2009 at 8:24 pm

    Thank you Katie. I found this very helpful. You are right that most of my stash is medium, but I found that pairing off the mediums each with a dark or a light totally made the design click. (I am making a small coin quilt. I’ll put it up on flickr when it’s done.) You are wonderful!

    Thanks for sharing this. I struggle with picking a range of color values when I’m planning a quilt, so I think doing a value quilt might actually strengthen my skills in picking fabrics overall.

    January 7, 2014 at 2:41 pm

    How many hst did you use to make what size quilt? I notice one of the above quilts has 80 hst, but what is the finished size?

    • Marcia says

      January 9, 2014 at 1:26 am

      Would, also, like some ideas on the best way to piece the top together. Go around the center square and work out? Work in blocks? Rows? Columns?

      • sewkatiedid says

        January 9, 2014 at 1:56 am

        I usually go in rows, but it depends on the design. If I’m creating the diamond layout I just do four-patches. Hope that helps!

      • Marcia says

        January 11, 2014 at 12:39 am

        Thank you so much for the response. I have charted out the off centered diamond quilt in graph form on paper which helped a lot. I plan on sewing four patches, then rows. I will post the pieced top when I finish! 🙂

  44. Marcia Long Haynes says

  45. fullfrontalfiction says

    June 9, 2014 at 2:15 am

    Apologies is this had been asked: What percentage or ration of light to medium to dark would you say is “pleasing”…, for example: 1:2:1.

  46. Madonna Carter Jackson says

    October 14, 2014 at 11:27 am

    Wow, for me the great lesson learned is: “Match the values and proportions, not the colors/fabric for success”. I have been doing it all backwards. I’m so in love with my colors and the fabrics that I didn’t see the obvious. Sparked a light in me, thanks for sharing all that you do.

    • sewkatiedid says

        What do you mean by “values”

  47. Jessie says

    November 19, 2014 at 4:29 pm

    Hi Katie! I just wanted to let you know that I used a picture of one of your value quilts (with credit to your name and a link back to this page), but because it was the first picture in a series of pictures on my post, that’s the one that’s showing up when I share the link. I’m still looking for ways to fix this, but I just wanted to let you know that I wasn’t stealing your image or misrepresenting it in any way. Here’s a link to the article, in case you’re interested: http://measuringsuccessquilting.blogspot.com/2014/11/finished-green-value-quilt.html

    If you want me to remove it, please let me know. Like I said, I’m still trying to figure it out. You’d think changing a thumbnail preview would be pretty easy, right? 🙂 Thanks for posting such a great tutorial! I had fun using it as a guide for my latest finish.

    – Jessie

  48. Jessie says

    November 19, 2014 at 5:24 pm

    Never mind. I did some switching around to make it work. Sorry to bother you with my petty formatting problems. 😉 I left the link/credit to your site with the picture.

    • sewkatiedid says

      October 15, 2015 at 9:51 am

      It’s the same process, you’ll just have a bigger quilt. Trim your squares to 7.5″ or 7.”

    Hi- I was just wondering if there is a pattern for the Indie Color Value quilt that uses the triangles? I am new to quilting and would like to make this in a King Size. Have no idea how much fabric to get. Than you.

    • sewkatiedid says

      February 17, 2016 at 12:13 pm

      Hi Karen, Sorry I don’t. There are lots of fabric calculators out there that you can use to help you with sizing, but generally you need pattern generating software for yardage. Unfortunately I don’t have that yet, but will post here when I do. Thanks!
