If you sew a two-color option, it is better to take contrasting colors. 30 bright flaps and 30 dark.
If you want to make a colored bedspread, with a lot of shades, then still adhere to such a concept - there must be a leading color, and the flaps of this color should be quantitatively more than the other colors. We make covers from 60 flaps. Consequently, the casting flaps should be at least 25 pcs. And it is advisable to use no more than 7 colors.
