Experiment with Color
What color scheme do you want to use? Pick one of the four listed from the table below. If you pick Primary colors, your colors are set, yellow, blue and red. Or pick either Monochromatic, Complementary, or Analogous and select your own colors. Each color scheme is described in the table below.
** You can add black and white fabric
Primary Colors | Red, Blue, and Yellow If using this scheme, you will make a quilt that incorporates all three of these colors | |
Monochromatic | Any number of colors in the same family in various tint, hues, and shades. If using this scheme, you will make a quilt that uses any number of fabrics all from the same color family | |
Complementary Colors | Two colors that are directly across the color wheel from each other. If using this scheme, you will select 2 complementary colors such as Violet and Yellow and use as many fabrics from these 2 colors as needed to make your quilt. | |
Analogous Colors | Three colors next to each other on the color wheel, including one primary color. If using this scheme, you will choose your 3 analogous colors, such as Yellow, Yellow-Green and Green and use as any number of fabrics from these colors to make your quilt. |
** You don’t need to use solid or tone on tone fabrics. For example, your yellow fabric can have little purple flowers as long as the overall impression reads as yellow
** No side larger than 64″
** Challenge quilts will be judged at our October meeting
***You can either select your own color scheme, or draw a scheme from the box located on the Greeters Table.
AND LASTLY, I am asking you consider making your Challenge a teen sized so it can be donated to Project Linus. Or, make a wall sized quilt for judging, and a replica for Project Linus.
