Color

[Julia S.]

Hi From Texas to everyone,
I’ve been quilting for quite a while but I don’t know if I’ll ever get over my fear of colors. I’ve played it safe for years asking a friend, using a kit or emulating another’s work. Far from a natural I’m hoping that Alex’s class will steer me to a more confident level. BTW, this is also my first mystery quilt.

I’d appreciate any comment on colors here and the other thing that i’m concerned about is how these will go in one quilt. First block photo also attached.

Any thoughts or am I overthinking this?

They definitely look like two different quilts one fall and one spring!

Try making blocks where the 2 color schemes mix, and that should bring it together. When you do that, try little bits of the fall colors in the spring, and vice versa.

somewhere on this site is a video of Alex and Ricky visiting Jinny Beyer and getting a color lesson -- one of the first 2 seasons. It might be easier to find on you tube.

Have fun!
