April 2024 Recap - Color Exploration!

April showers bring May flowers, and at our guild meeting April brought a wild array of color ready to be explored. We discussed how to use color, in April and beyond, and challenged ourselves to explore and use color for our Q3 quarterly challenge!

President: reminder that we will not have a meeting in May, since we have the Retreat!

Our Show and Tell is always a great opportunity for members to share what they are working on and have finished! We had multiple beautiful quilts this month, including a comet quilt just in time for the eclipse, and multiple temperature quilts!

Our theme for the April meeting was Color Exploration, and we spent time talking about the color wheel, color theory, and how to easily pull multiple combinations of colors that complement each other for quilts, using existing and shopping for new fabric that complements the projects we have in mind. We did a hands-on exercise in putting together color pallets that complemented or made some fabric we brought in pop.

Overall, it was great to see all the colorful quilts and spend time talking about our approach to color. Our third quarter challenge is about using color pallets, and I can’t wait to see all the colorful quilts our members put together!
