Choosing Colors without Color Theory
with
Bea Byrne
 
Do you find yourself admiring other quilters’ innovative use of color? Do you want to work from your stash, blending your existing fabrics together with confidence — without getting technical about hues, values, or complicated phone camera hacks?  This workshop will help.  In less than an hour, you’ll learn three simple methods for choosing color palettes that work for you. We’ll look at one website, one app, and one completely non-tech approach you can use to select fabrics for your next quilt. The most complicated color concept we’ll discuss is light, dark, and medium.  Perfect for quilters who want great results without overthinking.
