I am so excited to announce, this year-long blog series on Colour, specifically for quilters. I hope to make the series an interactive and practical study of color. Our goal is to provide you with resource tools, tips, ideas, processes, fabric selections choices, etc. Hopefully, making it easier for you to start playing and becoming more comfortable with color when creating your quilts.
What will the format be for the blog series?
We will have two posts per month.
The first post that will appear in the first week of the month, will be introducing the color, my view on using this color and a task/assignment for those interested in participating. It will include some color specific examples but also include more general content that we plan to build on each month.
The second post of the month, coming out the third week of the month will be and introduction from our guest + linking to a post from our guest (see schedule below), exposing you to a variety of processes from different people.
What is the schedule and who are the guests?
We have an amazing line up of guests that will be sharing their process, tips and/or resources.

Secondly, there will be an opportunity to add comments anytime based on prompts (or in general).

What does this series not cover?
This series is not going to go in-depth in the theory side of colour, as it aimed at more practical application. However, we will provide resources where you can read up on it and there will be reference to how selections work and why.
