Paint by Numbers

Welcome to my updated website and blog.  I've spent a good chunk of my time this week on an overhaul  and a switch to a new e-mail provider.  My brain cells definitely got a work out.  The layout is the same as before, just a more up to date look.  If something isn't working or is confusing, please let me know.

Working with Color

I've been playing with some new modern quilt designs (a potential new class) and realized I needed some help with coloring the quilts.  The palette I am most comfortable playing in definitely does not work with modern. 

After a bit of research, I found Joen Wolfrom's book Color Play and have been reading through it.  I also purchased her Three-In-One Color tool from Amazon and came up with a way to use it with Electric Quilt.

Pallete selected from Ultimate 3-in-1 color tool.

In my Electric Quilt video tutorial this week, I will share a process for working with this color pallete.  Techniques Included in this tutorial include:

• adding colors 
• adding shades and tints 
• adding fabrics based on the colors used 
• the random recolor tool

Here are a couple of renditions of the 2 block quilt using the color scheme of Yellow Green, Chartreuse, Spring Green and Purple.​
