Colour Theory for Quilters Series

How often have you thought to yourself while picking fabrics or throwing fabrics onto the design board "hmmph, I bet some colour theory would help me cinch this design right about now..."  Yes, I think we have all at one time or another been visitors in the land of color doubt.  Even the most amazing artists go through moments of stepping back and thinking "well THAT probably wasn't the best colour choice"

Lucky for us then that...

Jess of The Elven Garden is hosting 
The Colour Theory for Quilters Series!

AND --- lucky for me that she has asked that I write a guest post on Value, including a discussion on Low Volume!  I cannot tell you how flattered I was when she emailed me!
