Jean i am amazed and fascinated by the color wheel. I am quilting 1/2yards now just random colors. This is my next step. You are a great teacher. Thank you very much.
I just watch you video on the color wheel , you have such wonderful information. One other thing I watched you and Jen ,she was quilting on your machine. You said try to quilt your name because you know how your name goes. What wonderful information. Thanks for being so wonderful
Yes yes yes!!! I needed this so badly! Thank you very much!! I usually would get fabric that I loved but then I would have difficulty in finding a pattern that looked good with it! Then I’m left with fabric not used 😫! I can’t thank you enough!
THANK YOU DEAR! So interesting! Husband needs dinner ( grumble grumble) so I'll have to watch this after I feed him. Thank you thank you! Wow I had no idea colors meant so much. Enjoy your evening! Great teaching, great info, I sure do feel blessed to have found you on UA-cam
Hi Jean , it is Monday morning , just seen your tutorial on the colour chart , I have the same one as you thank goodness , I bought this on your advise , you have made my day , I now truly understand it and the way you have explained it all , oh my goodness you are truly awesome , thank you so very very much , no stopping me now , can’t wait to go to get some more fabric now , I have just purchased a panel of a peacock it is so beautiful , I can now use my colour chart to bring it to life, xx
I'm so pleased~~~all the info CAN be a bit daunting...I just like to break it down to its simplest form!! I'm glad your colorful world has opened up a bit more!! ;)
Hi, FANTASTIC tutorial, I have had a colour wheel for years but never really looked at it, but WOW! Can't wait to use it now, thank you thank you thank you! 👏❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘💥
Oh you must study it and take it with you to fabric stores! It really does the work for you and allows you to see just what goes with what - scientifically and visually! :) It really is a marvelous tool for quilters who have difficulty in choosing fabrics.
I watched two color wheel videos before this one, and my brain went numb, lol. I watched yours and now I get it! Thanks Jean, for another wonderful tutorial!
Thank you, Jean. This is a basic step that I've overlooked for too long. My philosophy was: work with what I have, and see if I like it...after all, it's mostly scrap. Well, that doesn't always work very well. Now, I will go back to the beginning with new tools.🤓
You said it...the first and foremost BASIC of basic steps in our quiltmaking journey!! Fabrics are expensive, but save those scraps and take a moment to group together those which go together, according to the color wheel!! :)
I can't believe what I just learned from you on the color wheel. I had no idea how to use one. I'm sure getting one now and I will for sure start using it. You opened a new world for me. It will help me to add colors I thought might not go together. This was a great video🌷
Thank you so very much for sharing your amazing knowledge with us Jean. I have always struggled with understanding the colour wheel, and it has now come out of my drawer and is sitting by my machine thanks to you! You explain everything so wonderfully, and I am now much more excited and confident in choosing colours by myself for my quilts instead of feeling overwhelmed by the vast choices and trying to work out what colour goes with what. Sending you lots of thanks and big smiles from England, and glad you enjoyed your roast dinner, my favourite! :)
SO pleased it's by your side!! The choices and selections of fabrics IS overwhelming...hopefully this handy dandy little tool will take the guesswork out of your next visit to the shops! :) Thanks so much for watching and tuning in! ;)
I have the Ultimate 3 in 1 colour tool. Its like a long fan book. Just hundreds of colours and that goes fabric shopping with me all the time. I need it as I am not confident in choosing. I been sewing for years (not quilts) and not got any better at fabric choosing🙇♀️😂😂.Thank you for a informative video.😀
Thanks for this Jean. So you know, your channel has inspired me to re-start quilting again after years of neglect! My first project, to get me back into it, was a combination of two of your tutorials....I made a heatproof Dresden plate table topper. The blades are shades of deep rich maroon, the centre is gold.....your colour wheel shows me why it works!! Thanks again x
Oh I am so pleased to read this!! How clever are you?!? Yes, the color combinations that we may not have thought would 'go', certainly do!! :) Thanks so much! ;)
Jean, I for one absolutely needed this. I am one of the ones that walks into a fabric store and get lost in all the colors, I will pick some and then when I get it home I discover it really doesn't go well together. I have heard of a color wheel but it never occurred to me to use one for choosing materials for quilting. So I want to say THANK YOU!!! so much for this video and I will be getting a color wheel before I go back to the fabric store. See what a good teacher you are? I sure do and this just further proves it.
You are welcome! I don't profess to be the 'greatest most affluent' teacher...but I think I can impart a little bit of this or that to those who are willing to bear with me!! And that would be YOU!!! Thank so much and GO GET A COLOR WHEEL GIRL!!! :) It will open a whole 'nother world!! :)
Thank you Jean, very useful. I bought a small one and a colour chart, like mixing colours and what it turns out like when mixing . I haven't understood it properly but when you showed your examples and your explanation I will make sure I have with me. :-)
Thank you Thank you Thank you for this because I cut out all my 2 & 1/2 " strips now I am stuck on what colors to put together in a block. I will order my color wheel before I do any sewing.
Another great tutorial. I must buy one for me. As you know I am a newbee and do not have lessons or any other option than watch and learn with you. So can you Tell me, please, what can I do with a 9 degree mini wedge ruler? it was a present and it is waiting for me.... Thanks and go on bubbling. 😊😊
Thanks for watching me bubbling!! :) As yo know, the 9 degree ruler is used mostly for curved or circle created appliques, each wedge sewn to the next in a circular manner. That could be difficult for a beginner so I would suggest a small quilt-as-you-go method (perhaps a small runner) using the cut out pieces of wedges. I would alternate top/bottom every other one to achieve the size of runner. I have done a little tutorial a bit back on a Placemat Quilt As You Go. The same idea would apply but using your wedges. Perhaps you could refer to that? Remember to start small, even a small mug rug, to get the feel of what you are doing...that way you won't get discouraged. All the best!! And thanks again! :)
I looked up a color wheel on Amazon, didn't buy it yet...I'm still confused. I'll watch this video again. You explain it well but I'm not getting something. My brain kinda understands the white and black thing but my thought it "white is boring" ...but you're telling me it makes things come alive. ?
White 'livens' things as it ADVANCES your eye, jumps out at you, therefore adding a touch of 'sparkle' ..whereas black will "RECEDE'...and quiets surrounding blocks down.
I gravitate towards warm colors when shopping for clothing because I do not look good in cool colors, but when I pick out fabric For quilts I gravitate towards cool colors. Weird huh?
Color is an amazing thing!! I didn't want to go on TOO MUCH how it effects mood, energy, feelings, hunger, peace, disquiet..etc., and is surrounding us each day and affecting us each differently! So it is 'weird, but wonderful, your choices!!! :)
I know what you mean. I feel like such a geek because I like to go to places and see the colors used in stores and especially restaurants. It’s amazing how they design a space and the colors used can trick our palette to eat more and spend more
Red is my favorite color - the color used in LOTS of dining places - increases appetite supposedly - oh dear - my kitchen and family room are red - and I am 50 pounds overweight!!! I confirm that theory!!! YIKES!!! :)
Passion is beautiful, don't kid yourself! My husband is never happier to be around me than when I'm all giddy over something I love doing.
I agree...to have a 'love' and really into whatever that is....a wonderful thing!!! :)
Jean i am amazed and fascinated by the color wheel. I am quilting 1/2yards now just random colors. This is my next step. You are a great teacher. Thank you very much.
Thanks for watching! :)
I cannot thank you enough for this video. Your explanation of the color wheel is just what I needed. Thank you so much.

I love my color wheel...every quilter should get acquainted with it!: ) THanks Linda! :)
Yes yes yes!!! I needed this so badly! Thank you very much!! I usually would get fabric that I loved but then I would have difficulty in finding a pattern that looked good with it! Then I’m left with fabric not used 😫! I can’t thank you enough!
Super! This really is a handy little tool! Take it with you and it'll all be good! Thanks for watching me:)

So pleased to un-numb your brain! LOL! Very simple, very easy, very effective tool for sewing! You are most welcome!
Wow. Thank you so much for this. Until now, I could never grasp the color wheel. Thanks for this tute!!!
It's so interesting once you get the hang of it! All the best! :)

It is a wonderful tool! Takes the guesswork out of choosing from the myriads of different fabric selections! :)

Thank u for explaining this! This was very helpful to me.
So glad I could shed an ounce of light on it!! Thanks!
By the way, that can opener you found in your sewing room was hilarious !!
I mean, seriously, what the heck was that doing in my sewing room!!?!? :)
Another great tutorial. I must buy one for me.

I’m a hair stylist and when I went to cosmetology school we had that color beaten into our heads. Lol

Can you do a iPad cover as a tutorial please it was smashing
Will put that on my list!! :)

You’re a hoot Jean. My walls in my kitchen/dining area are off white and I’m about 50lbs overweight too. I just like food too much that’s my excuse
