Color: Messing Around/Mixing Fabrics |

The principle here is expressed by Roberta Horton: "I love fabric, so quilts made with a lot of different fabrics give me more to look at, more to love. I am forced to read the entire surface of the quilt to find all the variety in the fabric patterns and colors. It's sort of like a treasure hunt." We'll talk a little color language, but the Travelling Patches will let you play around with personality and scale as well. Bring friends! More people/opinions make this interactive workshop merrier and more instructive. You'll solve a suite of problems (like 'baby coming'! Choose fabrics for a navy nursery). There are no wrong solutions. |
