Quilt Block Colors with a Color Wheel – Beth Ann Doing

Start with Color

I have been working with 2 1/2 inch fabric squares and I can’t seem to get my colors right. So, out comes my color wheel. Quilt fabric colors are just like paint colors and I am going to try and explain a bit.

I have used this method too HERE (color from a photo) and HERE the tried and true, move fabrics around !
The color wheel is how to get you started, BUT as with everything it’s just a start, YOU do YOU. NO RULES

primary colors for a quilt

 The color wheel is simply a circle tool that shows the relationships of colors. Below is a six color, color wheel with the primary colors being RED, YELLOW and BLUE. Primary colors are the three colors that cannot be created by mixing other colors together: red, blue, and yellow.

color wheel for a quilt, The Quilt Ladies

Secondary colors are created by mixing two primary colors together:
Mix Red and Green you get Yellow
Mix Red and Blue you get Magenta (light purple) 
Mix Blue and Green you get Cyan (light blue)

The color wheel also organizes the colors based on their relationships with one another. Colors that are directly across from each other on the color wheel are called complementary colors. These colors create a strong contrast when placed next to each other. For example, red and green are complementary colors.

Remember with fabric you have textures and patterns that will add interest to your quilt. And most importantly, HAVE FUN WITH COLOR ! ! !
