Finding Color Inspiration . . .

Looking for color inspiration for your next quilt or other craft project? Start with a concept board. You can collect images from magazines, or pull things together online using an electronic pin board like pinterest. Here are my Pinterest boards. Just make sure you LOVE the image. The images can have a theme or no theme. If you love the image even if you don't know why, it's probably the color.

Next pull colors from the board randomly and put them together into different color palettes. 

Print your favorite color palette and take it shopping with you. It doesn't matter if you are shopping for your home, wardrobe, or next quilt project. If you love the colors you are sure to love the final results!

 

It's great fun. Give it a go . . .
