September Guild Meeting: Charles Cameron

Color! An Engineer’s guide to color value and color placement in your quilts

This is a return visit for Charles. He so impressed the guild last year that we wanted to invite him back for more color and style inspiration.

As an engineer, Charles approaches color selection and placement in quilts in a very methodical way. In this talk he’ll discuss several strategies for selecting fabric colors and their placement when planning your quilt to add interest and depth. He promises there aren’t any quizzes or mathematical equations!

The talk is in 3 parts: Charles begins with a brief discussion on color theory basics (the color wheel, and concepts: hue, tone, shade, and value). In the second part he shares quilts that he's sewn using other designers’ patterns and discusses different ideas for color placement. In the third part he shares his own original designs, and discusses the approach to how colors were selected to enhance the overall effect and design.
