    Default Colour class on Craftsy

    Has anyone ever taken the class on colour by Joen Wolfrom on Craftsy?

    Goodness knows I could use the help.

    I did. It has a LOT of information about color, color schemes & tones. It's one of the better color classes I've taken (I gave it 4/5 stars) but she doesn't use any neutral in her quilts at all. I wrote "I would much rather buy some grey, taupe, white, black, cream & yellow fabrics to help draw attention to the beautiful colors than to follow the suggestion of flipping dyed* fabrics over to the backside". I know there are plenty of quilters that like using the backside of printed fabrics, but I almost never do. I just don't like that look. If you do, you'll love this class because she talks about that technique a lot. Still, even though I only like one of her no-neutrals quilts, I was definitely helped by this class.

    *I wrote "dyed", but I meant printed.

    I took this class. I learned a lot and enjoyed the class.
    The section on transitioning between colours was very helpful to me.

    I did the class and I appreciated her different perspective on color and its use for fabric. I liked the emphasis on transitioning between colors. Now, I look at color differently and combine colors better. I found that the principles that I learned in my college physics class do not really work well with color selection. Useful information and lots of opportunity to apply the principles.
