Are you a quilter frustrated by color? I understand. For years, I was too. I was determined to master color, so I developed a simple way of learning about a new color palette every month, with projects easy to finish. No UFOs. And you’ll actually use them on your kitchen or dining room table.
Thanks for watching the Color for Quilters video. If you enjoyed it, please sign up below for my monthly newsletter that contains color tips, quilt designs, and a recipe. I promise not to use your email for any other purpose: I don’t like SPAM either.
