Take Those Scraps and Turn Them into a Colorific Quilt

Then it’s onto learning how to use the color wheel to guide and build a scrap collection, in this case green, yellow-green, blue-green, in a quilt, including tips for working with complex color combinations and hard to place or unusual colors.
Learn from Judy by watching her in Learn Simple Color Theory and How to Organize and Cut Your Scrap Quilts with Judy Gauthier.

"When Alex & Jinny Met in New York Beauty Happened" by Teri Lucas
Inspired by Alex's Color Bridge line of fabric, Teri gave herself a challenge and learned to paper piece using New York Beauty Blocks to make her quilt When Alex & Jinny Met in New York Beauty Happened. Composed of Alex's fabric and Jinny Beyer's fabric, hence the name, it is a celebration of color to behold.
