A big thanks to Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr
of Modern Quilting Studio for a fantastic lecture on colour and value
and how to select fabrics for your quilt.
As a follow up to their lecture, Bill Kerr of Modern Quilt Studio, taught an informative workshop called Understanding Colour and Fabric Selection. Students had his help to select their fabrics, and were inspired by his knowledge and expertise.
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.
