Hi Anita – you ask a great question! We hear a lot about how to choose colors but not so much on how much of each color to use. That’s a big part of any quilt is getting the right balance of each color so one doesn’t overwhelm the others. I recommend a guideline painters use (I do this in my watercolor paintings) called the “Three Bears Rule of Color,” and the Renaissance quilt project in Color Mastery incorporates it into the fabrics you select. It’s a 6-fat quarter quilt and an easy way to learn both what colors to use and how much of each to get just the right harmony. Good luck and let me know how you do with it!

Hi Maria,
I’m new to quilting. Love to quilt hate shopping for new fabric. Having a hard time blending my fabric colors.
Loved your tutorial on the Color Wheel what a helpful tool.
Just a question. How much of a partical color should you include in your quilt? Is there a formula? I will pick up your book in my favorite store. I’m sure it will help me become less color challengend. Great job. Thanks again,and thanks to Jodie Davis for telling me about you.

Maria:

I’d like your permission to tell my students about your website and your tutorial on making your own “Color Wheel.”

I lecture on color and found your site to be full of great information.

Thanks!
