3 in 1 Color Tool

This little color tool has been sitting around my sewing room for a couple of years. I would get it out once in a while to use it for color references, but never really knew how to use it to its full capacity until recently.

A couple weeks ago I watched episode 3 of The Quilt Show. One of the guests was Joen Wolfrom who is the designer of the 3 in 1 Color Tool. She shared several things which make this tool invaluable for color coordinating. There are 24 cards detailing 24 color from this color wheel. Each card has shades, tints and tones that are created by mixing another color with it.

The back of the card to me is the most neat feature of all. It has a cheat sheet referring you to other colors which will coordinate with your quilt. It gives you a guide and color ideas for different fabrics and how to put them together in different color schemes.

Be sure to catch more tips other lots of helpful information by visiting The Quilt Show!
