Randi from Fresh-Squeezed Fabrics recently asked me to write a guest post about Color in Quilting for her blog: I have to Say ...
I really enjoyed writing a blog post on color. It certainly made me stop to reflect on how I use color in my quilts and what inspires my color choices. Although I am certainly no color theory guru you may like to head over and read the blog post - here.

And because I like to leave you with another colorful picture, here is a sneak peek at what I've been working on for the last few days:

Color is definitely the first thing that always grabs my attention!
ReplyDeleteYour use of color is superb! You're an inspirationn to many. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI"m taking a class at one of the art colleges in my city and have been using color in a way that I never expected to do. It's really changed the way I see things out in the world and has really opened up my creativity in a way I never expected!
ReplyDeleteGreat Article. I love your use of colour. Kaffe Fassett has also been a huge inspiration for me.
ReplyDeleteOoh, a glimpse of your SUMMER in the trees !
ReplyDeleteThat's even more alluring than a new quilt right now !
Looks pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteGah, that picture is LURVLY! Wow, Australia is like another world with all that summer.
ReplyDeleteFantastic to see you on Randi's blog today. Thanks for the great post on color!
ReplyDeleteWell, firstly thank you for introducing me to a new blog! beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnd secondly, I too have been thinking about my choices of colours in quilts lately. I have changed tastes, and evolved with my colour choices so much over the last few years. And once this hexagon monster is over, I don't think I shall ever make another pastel quilt again! It's bold, batiks and solids the whole way for me!
(I will probably change my mind about that by tomorrow though!!)
Your quilt is wonderful. I love your colors. I need more skill in color selection. You are my inspiration for doing just that! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love your choice of colors. I will begin with Amy Butler's new line of Soul Blossoms. Your quilts are just wonderful.
