The Power of Color

How much thought do you give to the power of color?

How do you buy a pattern? Are you drawn to the color of the quilt on the cover or do you see past the color to the quilt’s design?

Here is a really simple design. Do you see it’s potential? Adding color can give it so many different personalities.

Here it is made with a bright contrasting against black.

Crisp and Bold

Here is the same pattern done in soft pastels (left), brights (middle) and two medium colors with little contrast (right).

Playful and Fun

Here the same pattern is done in a rainbow of colored scraps kept under control by white. Clean and Colorful

It’s amazing how color can make one simple design look and feel so different!

I hope you take time to ponder the color wheel on your next project.

Happy sewing and crafting!
