Hey Quilting Buddies! It’s Gina Here!
If you’ve ever been puzzled about how to pick the right colors for your quilt, then you’re in for a treat! Joen Wolfrom has graced us with an amazing tool that’s just like having a color magician in your pocket! Whether or not you’ve dived into her brilliant Color Play book, Joen’s 3-in-1 Color Tool is going to change your quilting game.
Picture this: A stack of color cards, reminiscent of those you’d pick up when pondering wall paints at a hardware store. These 30 cards, bound together with a neat plastic rivet, are vibrant, sturdy, and glossy.
What’s Inside This Magic Deck? ✨
These aren’t just any color cards. 24 of them are dedicated color-guide cards, each focusing on one of the 24 pure colors from the renowned Ives Color Wheel. Imagine the main color blazing at the card’s top, with its tints, shades, and tones cascading down its edges. And, as a cherry on top, the reverse of each card reveals six handy color schemes for that hue. From monochromatic to triadic, Joen’s got you covered!
Now, with 792 colors, you might think, “Is my shade in there?” Trust me, from quilting fabrics to bed linens, I’ve found every color I’ve needed!
How I Use This Gem
While some might shop for fabric with a particular quilt in mind, I’m more of a stash shopper. When I’m brainstorming my next project, this tool becomes invaluable. It’s like my personal color whisperer! I recall crafting a dolphin block for my dear friend Marilyn using Margaret Rolfe’s designs. Using the 3-in-1 Color Tool, I was able to match fabrics from my collection to the perfect colors for the project.
Grays, in particular, can be tricky. But with this tool, picking the ideal grays became a breeze! ️
It’s Not Just About Color!
In addition to the dazzling color cards, Joen sneaked in a fabric preview card. It’s got three shapes that let you envision how a pattern will appear in a smaller patch, maximizing your fabric options. But there’s more! There’s also a value finder – a nifty red card to help you categorize fabrics into light, medium, or dark values.
Boosting My Confidence
Honestly, this tool has supercharged my color-choosing confidence! Playing with fabrics and matching them to the guide cards is just so much fun. I remember getting so engrossed in it; I had to remind myself to get back to crafting Marilyn’s block!
For on-the-go quilters like me, the 3-in-1 Color Tool comes in a protective vinyl pouch, ensuring it’s safe, clean, and always ready. So, just like you’d never leave your home without your essentials, make sure this tool is with you on your quilting adventures!
