This session will discuss the importance of color, hue, print, and scale when selecting fabric for a quilt. Students will also learn tips and tricks for building a color palette and to love and maximize the fabric they already have in their stash. Students are free to bring fabrics and/or patterns they are considering, and the group as a whole can troubleshoot and help create the perfect fabric selections to achieve beautiful quilts.
