Bead Selection and Trialing

If beads are stored in clear containers it makes it easy to compare colors and textures while deciding which beads to put on your quilt. Think about size, color, textures and how the bead fits or stands out in your overall design.

Some beads are easier than others to trial before sewing.  Delicas and small seed beads are more difficult to trial due to their size. I've selected the shorter blue bugles for this quilt so I don't cover up the quilting.
