Color, Color and more Color

As a youngster I always had something in my hand to draw with or to color. Decades ago I used to paint with oils and loved blending the colors and painting on canvas.  Quilting is similar with choosing and experimenting with the colors. It's just another medium. Once I discovered quilting I never looked back. My SIL called it a hobby but I told him no, it was in my soul and something I had to do. He understood completely.

If I like the fabric, I'll buy it. Later if it doesn't go with my project, it will be added to the "collection." Believe me it will be used.

Years ago I used to buy fat quarters, then 1/2 yard. Well, 1/2 yard doesn't really go that far. Now if I really like the fabric, three yards will usually be enough. What's left from a project can be used in a scrappy quilt. They're fun.

Now let me tell you that I don't consider myself an expert, just another quilter learning quilt by quilt. The more the merrier I would say.

This link has several helpful links so thought I'd share with you. Quilters love to share.
