Fortunately having an "eye for color" is not just something you are born with -- it is something you can develop! 

​​

Someone with knowledge of color can use it as a tool to set the mood, to create contrast or emphasis, to surprise, or to tell a story.

 

But an artist who doesn't have knowledge of how color works will perpetually run into frustration.

 

SO many quilters struggle with choosing fabrics for their quilts.

Typically in my Scrappy Applique® workshops as they were choosing fabrics for their projects, I noticed 2 types of students.

 

One type would agonize over which fabrics to choose, ultimately asking me or her neighbor for hlep. Many who fell into that same camp would eliminate that struggle all together by just bringing a precut or bundle to class. 

 

The other type of quilter I saw could pull together fabrics a lot more easily. They would add a fabric to the palette, step back and assess, then nod or shake her head and toss it aside. They approached color in a very intuitive manner-- going with their gut. However, sometimes their gut would tell them something was off with a palette, but they couldn't quite tell what.
