Class Description

One of the most exciting things about quilting is how a few simple tweaks—rotate a block, flip the contrast, shrink or blow up a print, or splash in unexpected colors—can completely transform a design. That creative magic is what sparked Quilts in Color, an engaging, interactive lecture all about bringing your quilts to life through intentional color choices.
In this session, we’ll dive into five accessible, eye-opening strategies for playing with color—whether you're working from a pattern or designing your own. You’ll walk away inspired and empowered, ready to look at every quilt pattern through a fresh lens and make it unmistakably you.
Participants will:
Learn how contrast, block placement, and color choices completely change the look of a quilt
Explore five different methods of creating color palettes
Receive a free downloadable packet of quilt designs featured in the lecture, perfect for practicing the color strategies we explore together and continuing the fun at home!
Use those methods to color quilt designs and discover what inspires their personal style
Then, in the second half, bring their favorite design to life by painting it—Barn Quilt style—on wood! (optional)
