Lecture : Rethinking Color
More than any other topic, students ask us to help them become more confident in their color choices. You’ll learn color theory, not as a dry technical approach, but as it pertains to your quilts. We’ll explain new ways to combine fabrics, how to build and edit palettes for your projects and how your color choices change the feel of your finished projects. We’ll take a deep dive into a wide variety of quilts to analyze what makes the color work successful and how those strategies will help you translate what you see in your mind into your finished quilts.

Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr are celebrating their 21st year as professional quiltmakers and co-founders of Modern Quilt Studio, a design studio in Oak Park, Illinois. Bill and Weeks are pioneers of the Modern Quilt Movement, having written the first book on Modern Quilting. Weeks made her first modern quilt in 1987 to rethink the possibilities of the American quilt as being expressive of the time in which we live. Bill began sewing at age 8 and started designing and making modern quilts in 1995.
