Colour for Quilters

Colour for quilters with Sheena – Jane White Tuition

25-26 February 2017

Part 1 – Choosing fabrics for your project can be a great challenge. Sometimes we put fabrics together and they look fantastic, sometimes they just don’t work! Investigate warm and cool tones, relative value, intensity and proportion. Using some traditional quilt blocks you will get to play, to audition fabrics and see what is great and what works better.
