Color Theory for Quilters (aka How do I pick fabric for my quilt?) Ever wonder why some quilts sing while others fall flat? While there are multiple factors at play, color choice and placement have a huge effect on the success of your design. In this class, learn the basic color theory terminology, then dive into several ways to use this new knowledge to help you pick fabrics for your next favorite quilt. You will explore these lessons as you create several small raw-edge appliqué compositions which you can finish as mug rugs at home.
