Color Palette Generation For Your Next Quilt or Project

Are you looking for a way to generate a color palette for a new quilt or other project? Well, I have been playing with an online color generator called kuler. It's fun and easy and below you will see some of my results. You upload an image and it generates the colors automatically. You can also move the little circles around and pick your own palette from the photo. You can save the palette (privately or share it with the kuler community). It's fun and you'll be surprised at the fun results.

My back yard tool shed.

The bread pudding I baked today!

One of my handmade buttons.

Another button - I think I'll print this and take it to the yarn store.

Here's my kitchen. I was surprise and pleased with this palette.

Outside my studio window. This would make a lovely quilt, don't you agree?

Of course I had to upload a few of my surface design prints from the other day and here's what kuler gave me back!  I love this!

I think I will print some of these palettes and take them to the fabric shop. The palette should be helpful in choosing fabrics to make a bag. I think the surface design prints will make a great focal point pocket on one of my tote bag patterns.

I have to say this has gotten my creative juices flowing.
