| Value VS Color |
| Instructor : | Jennifer McCann |
|
| Description : | Do you get confused when choosing colors? Is finding just
the right fabric frustrating? Do your quilts lack that pizzazz that others’ seem to have? You need a lesson on value and color, and how they do (and don’t) work together. Value is a function of color, but can easily be overlooked if you don’t know much about it. Value does all the work, but color usually gets the credit.
