These are the two fabric's that I won't be using in the pattern. The teal/purple (right) is the one I hope to use in the boarder.
These are the two unused fabrics as viewed through The Patchwork Place's Ruby Beholder. The Ruby Beholder removes color from fabric and shows only it's value (ie. light-medium-dark). Through this lense, one can see the large contrast between the two values represented in these fabric's values that make them unsuitable for use in THIS quilt pattern.
This is another photo of the fabric's I have chosen for my Bargello quilt that hit the blue-green/blue/blue-violet parts of the color wheel. The yellow sticky notes are my organziational markers. Each fabric is designated 1-20 so that when I go to make my strips, I can keep them in order.
Here's what those same fabric's look like through the Ruby Beholder. Notice the slight movement in values. Remember within a given range, your values will change based on the adjacent fabrics.
