The colors blend and they're pretty; the fabric has good visual texture; but overall, the quilt lacks the excitement and "pop" you wish it had. It's likely you're looking at a quilt that needs more contrast!

The Sew Red Glasses are the simplest way to determine the color value - light, medium, or dark - of fabric. Every quilter, seamstress, fabric artist, designer and florist needs this tool to perfect the most important design element - Contrast!

Here's how easy it is to put this into practice:

1. Put on Sew Red Glasses to determine color value of fabrics. The red filter lens removes the color and enables you to see fabrics in a grey scale.
2. With your Sew Red Glasses, organize fabrics by value - dark, medium, light.
3. Check your design with the Sew Red Glasses to make sure you see every aspect of your project.
4. Sew Red Glasses help you see contrasting values to create vibrancy and interest in your design.
5. Keep in mind the red filter does not give you the true value of red and pink fabrics.
