All the fabric is provided, over 1200 different fabrics, for the Color Workshop participants to use to create several examples of quilt patterns. Numerous quilts will be seen to illustrate the different principles being explored. Students will choose the fabrics to 'play' with among those available

This workshop is divided into 3 parts. Each part is then divided into 2 sections: mosaic designs and pieced block patterns.

Part 1 is devoted to the use of solid fabrics. Exploring through exercises how the depth of color influences the overall look and impact of a quilt.

Part 2 is devoted to the use of calico fabrics - no solids allowed. This is the most difficult section, to successfully combine these busy fabrics to create a "Country" or "Victorian" quilt.

Part 3 is devoted to current fabrics - all the fabrics to be found in a quilt or fabric store. The solids are again available as well as the calicos, jungle prints, novelty fabrics, paisley's, Jenny Beyer's and other fabrics.

This workshop is also available in a half day variation.
