A good laugh and choosing colors in quilts

September 30, 2011 by Scarlett Burroughs

Two things. This is the blog banner at Lovely Frankenstein’s Quilting Laboratory. Funny! Second Lauren, this blog’s owner, works in a quilt shop. She explains,

This particular entry is a response to the many quilters who lament that they “just can’t pick colors well.” It explains the color wheel, different levels of color and how an understanding of how colors play together is a real asset for quilters. Color theory in quilting isn’t difficult at all, and that is what I want quilters to see – they really CAN choose colors effectively with ease!

Go to her Post: It’s Technical. Color Theory and Color Choice in Quilts to read more.
