Color Sense Two-Session Class Fri, Sep 27, 2024 10:30am - 4:30pm Sat, Sep 28, 2024 10:30am - 4:30pm

Description Annie’s back with her ever-popular Color Sense workshop. Every quilter thinks that they have a problem with color - when in fact, they need to know more about fabric. Learn exactly what draws the eye to interesting designs and patterns in quilts to give them life. We discuss keys to effective fabric selection in this workshop, apply hands-on design exercises, and make a quilt applying everything you learn. The first day is Building Your Color Sense, a no-sew, hands on workshop with a slide show about quilts and color standards (with industry secrets), a hands on demo where we play with fabric, and students build paste-ups from their stash. Learn to apply design rules to choose fabrics for quilts, enhancing your own color and fabric intuition. Students create a resource binder that they will use again and again. The second day, you compose an eye-popping quilt, the 1:10 Quilt, using a single block pattern and ten fat quarters! The block used for this exercise is a magical block that changes design based on where you place your fabrics. Each block is totally unique and can't be repeated! As a part of the quilt making experience, you also learn precision piecing, using one little essential notion. Understanding the points taught in this workshop will make all the difference in your future quilts and give you a new sense of color confidence. NOTE: Students need to bring their own sewing machines in good working order for the second day only.
