What is Color Confidence for Quilters®?
Color Confidence for Quilters® is a color curriculum specifically created for quilters. This method was developed by Shannon Brinkley, an international speaker, author and designer. It will take you from unsure and insecure about your color abilities to confidently mixing and matching all the fabrics in your stash, creating fabric palettes that are beautiful, unique, and look like you!
Color Confidence for Quilters® will help you train your eye for color, which makes choosing fabric for your next quilt so much easier and more fun!
​
Color Confidence for Quilters® is for you if you've ever:
-
stood in front of your stash, overwhelmed and not sure where to start
​
-
second-guessed every fabric choice
​
-
pulled fabrics that looked a little "off" together, but couldn't tell why
-
played it safe with a precut bundle or kit
​
-
realized halfway through a quilt that the colors just weren't working
​
-
felt extra pressure choosing colors for a special gift quilt
​
Go from second-guessing every fabric choice to choosing colors with confidence
Color Confidence for Quilters® Program
I loved everything about quilting… except choosing fabric! If you feel the same way, this is for you. We'll start with a quick, fun exercise that reveals which of 2 types of quilter you are when it comes to color, and why it matters every time you pull fabric. Then we'll explore the 4 elements of color, including one most color classes skip, and how to balance harmony and contrast to create quilts that look like you!
​
No matter your ability level with color, this program blends the science of color with your intuition in a way that's easy to understand and easy to apply to your quilting, with plenty of quilts to show color in action.
​
The program is approximately one hour and available in person or virtually over Zoom.
