Step 2A: Pick Threads – 8 different threads

After really looking at my quilt (it hangs in my studio) I see what this title means. I’m making adjustments to my pattern to reflect color gradation. Color gradation is when you have a shading or passing of one tint or shade of color to another. The only deviation is Color #6. This is a neutral that helps to make all your other colors pop.
