The Use of COLOR in Quilts!
Our February meeting, will be an exciting new take on a theme that many quilters find challenging. It has been designed to appeal to both beginning and advanced quilters and everyone in between. The idea of this program is to give our members a chance to view “up close and personal” a group of outstanding quilts that illustrate exceptional understanding of how color can be used to achieve maximum impact, and, in the process, bring a quilt to a new level. By learning something about how each quilter went about conceptualizing and planning her use of color to achieve the desired effect and having a chance to ask questions, the Education Committee hopes that participating members will go home equipped with inspiration and some concrete strategies for approaching color choices in their future quilts.
