GO CRAZY WITH
COLOR
Color can be one of the most intimidating parts of quilt
making. All the choices!! It is exciting, and at times,
overwhelming. What do I choose? Which one is “right”?
Peg is here to say that there are no “right or wrong”
choices. If it makes you happy, then it is the correct
choice. There are, however, some strategies to help you be
more successful in selecting pleasing color plans for your
quilts. This lecture uses visual aids and quilts to give you
some helpful tips for getting the color YOU want in your
quilts.
