- Fabric is expensive so choosing it for your next quilt is daunting if you are wary of what color goes with what. Feel more confident after studying the essential tool, the Color Wheel! Not just for artists, painters, designers or decorators, but in Quilting also! I give a few very simple basic tips in this video of how to use a Color Wheel in your sewing room.
Free quilting class and sewing lessons! And as in a 'classroom' setting, my tutorials are approximately 1/2 hour+ long....So Join me in my home sewing room making all sorts of quilted goodies! Be aware ~ I like to chat and probably repeat myself over and over, (and stutter sometimes), and if this annoys you, then view elsewhere - but, if patient, you hopefully will learn a new method or technique!

One of your best videos! I've seen color wheels for quilting lots of times -- most were even a more technical presentation. Seeing your fabric swatches was so much better than just seeing a color wheel card (and of course YOU would have enough fabric to get spot on perfect shades for a color wheel!) and the example quilts were so helpful. Thanks for taking the time to pull all this together. I plan to watch again!
Glad you enjoyed it! As I said, I certainly am no expert or even know most of the 'technicalities', but I do know what colors look nice together, and that is the basis of the color wheel! YAY!! Thanks for taking time to watch :)
Jean thank you for this great chat! I learnt so much and now I finally understand. The number of times I've watched videos and read blogs about colour theory and come away more boggled and confused than ever, but this time ...... the "penny dropped"! Oh happy day 🎉
I'll bring the cake next time 😉
Glad it was helpful! All the times that I watched those things!!!!! And yes, I had an Ah Ha moment years ago, when I finally figured out it was all rather basic:) Color Wheel to the rescue;) Thanks Nadine:)
Thank you Jean for the information on the colour wheel, it seems complicated but when it's explained it not so daunting 💐
Glad it was helpful Vivienne:) Like I said, I just pretty much know the basics, but I think that is all you need to know and experiment from there;)
Well, I’ve never had the colour wheel explained so well. I paid attention and yes I want to get myself a colour wheel now, never thought I’d ever say that.
Thanks for sharing, fantastic video! 👍❤️😊
Glad it was helpful! And that you Pain Attention!! LOL!!
Many thanks for this very informative video with the necessary pinch of humour to make this dry theme colorful. Very helpful!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for explaining the color wheel. I enjoyed the quilts with color to use...great color choices. TY. Enjoyed
Glad you enjoyed it Sherrol:)
I have watched too many color wheel fabric choices videos and still could not understand much. Some how the way you presented it turned my dim light bulb understanding into a flood light. Finally my color wheel will make sense as NOW I will truely know how to use it. I have dyslexia where it affects other areas like you explained in your other video. You make the most perfect teacher for me. Oceans of respect from Florida 🌅☺
Glad it was helpful Janice! Like I said, I'm NO expert, but the basics I get and I think are helpful in quilting')
This was great Jean. It is the first time I have really understood the way colour changes and how white and black are used. I am a very visual person (have to see something being made to understand, no amount of reading fixes it in my brain ) . so thankyou so much for this practical example and the lovely quilts you included. I'm off with new confidence in my colour choices and will bear it in mind when I am following the quilt-along. Stay safe
Thank you! It's all rather basic....so many books, and blogs and videos and classes trying to explain ~ when it's all down to a few colors and what goes with what! :) Yay for the color wheel;)
Hello Jean. Isn't colour wonderful. I enjoyed this video. The quilts with all the lovely colour. Amazing. xxx
Coming from the Color Queen ~ is our Annie!!!:) You certainly aren't afraid of it ~ neither am I! Color is Life:) LOL!
I enjoy your videos so much. I look for one every day. I watch them while I’m working in the kitchen. Your delivery makes me smile. And, I understand your tutorials and have done a your baskets and will do some other projects.
Thank you so much Kathy:) Glad to keep you company:)
Jean you did such a wonderful job of explaining the color wheel and values of each color. I enjoyed this video very much. God bless y’all.
Thank you so much!
@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory 🙏🙏❤️
Thank you Jean for this explanation. It makes the colorwheel much more useful for me. Groetjes uit België
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Jean, I now understand my colour wheel that I have had a while so much more and look forward to using it when I go to buy more fabric to make my next project x
Glad it was helpful Joan:)
Oh Jean.....the color wheel to me is what math is to you! I will look into the color wheel and read up on it more. Thank you for the explanation and samples....I see where it makes sense! You have an artist color wheel in your brain 🧠!!!! I love your quilts and how you put them together. I love your channel so much. Fun and informative. Looking forward to next block for our “Dear Jean’s Quilt”!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
LOL! I did laugh! You described that so well Sandra! LOL! It's easy for me ~ just like math is for other people! LOL! Thank you so much! Working on Block Four:)
@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory 🤣🤣I’m that lady that buys the Fat Quarter bundle🤣🤣 and I’m ashamed to say I look for the coordinating solids online that match from the manufacturer. 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
Oh Sandra, I’m glad I’m not the only one who is challenged by colours! Jean does such a wonderful job in explaining it. 🏴
@@margaretnewman4464 Hi Margaret! Jean sure does a great job! Love her channel!
Thank you Jean. I can always use more color education. I so admire your color choices.h
Thank you so much!
Wonderful video ! Thank you so much for the lesson on the color wheel. The quilts are beautiful. You have an amazing sense of color depth and combination.
Love the pictures of your family. Thank you for sharing this. God bless you and your family
Thank you so much Kym:) This was fun to do! And although I'm certainly no expert, I think it helps people to know the basics:)
Jean this was awesome..loved every minute of it :-))))) THANK YOU!! 💝
Glad you enjoyed it Kathy:)
Jean, I have always wanted to know about putting colors corner---you have got me started---thank you very much
Happy to help Donna:) All the best and keep safe:)
I really enjoyed this. Thank you for all the info about the color wheel. Your explanation helped me to understand it more.
You are so welcome Luann:)
Mrs. Truelove, I really enjoyed the class today. 😀 I purchased the color wheel after you recommended in another video we needed one. I have really learned a lot from it. Thanks for all you do for us. Hope you have a blessed day. Nicole ♥
You are so welcome! Me and my color wheel!! LOL! Glad you got one!! LOL! Thanks again for taking time to watch :)
Thanks Jean wonderful explanation...LOVE your necklace
Oh thank you Peggy:)
Beautifully done video with excellent explanations. I actually think I get it! Thanks Jean 😀
I'm so glad Heather:) Thank you:)
Thank you! You are so talented and gifted!
Thank you Lisa! 😊
Dear Jean I have always struggled with colours an d rely on my daughter to help me but perhaps I will try the colour wheel for myself. 🏴 Thank you for your clear explanation,❤️🏴
You can do it Margaret:) But remember to pick what you LOVE then work from there;)
Thank you very much for sharing your talents with us.
My pleasure Gail! thank you for watching;)
Thank you so much for this video! I wish I would have purchased a color wheel when I started quilting 5 years ago. I usually bought package deals ( yes way more expensive) now I can take my wheel to fabric store with me ...I'm so excited! Thank you for doing another block party, like you and so many others I was in a real funk and couldn't get started.even though I'm not a beginner I like the inspiration I'm getting from you to get moving again. I add a little more challenge to the blocks but still doing somewhat the same as your 2021/mixing in 2018 and 2019. Blocks.
Again thank you thank you!
You always make me smile!
Tess
Thank you so much Teress! :) I appreciate that:) I think A LOT of us were in a funk!! I know I was! :) But hopefully 2021 little blocks will give us something to look forward to and get our minds from the awful news around us!!! :/ If I make someone smile for just a moment, then my day is made:)
This was so educational Jean, thank you. A joy to view all the various quilts accompanied by the soothing music. Would the bike and the writing have been a panel, and then you added the rest of the quilt? It looked wonderful - Maxwell must have been chuffed giving it to his teacher, who himself must have been thrilled to receive it - it really is magnificent :-)
Thanks! Yes, it was just a panel and I added border and some blocks. I love panels, easy, quick and effective and his teacher loved it:)
Great explanations Jean as always ,I loved seeing all the quilts at the end as I'm a visual learner and it all makes sense xx
Glad it was helpful Martina! Thanks for watching;)
This was great Jean! I love my color wheel too. I use it with cakes and painting, so helpful! Thanks for the link to the blog about the honey run bridge, I hadn’t seen that one. Dutch brothers coffee was doing a fund raiser for the rebuilding project today. Wasn’t able to get to it, but it’s cool they are working to bring it back.
You are so welcome Sondra:)
Thank you so much. This is the first time that I actually understand the color wheel much better. You have simplified it for me. I have made about 15 quilts, but still didn't really understand the color wheel. Lol
Great to hear Nora! It's all very basic...no real sweat when you know those basics:) thank you for watching;)
I love the color wheel. I bought one before when you recommended them. Helped me look differently as to what goes together. I really appreciated the way you explained the wheel. Makes it much easier. Thanks again for another great video. Almost to 40K. I get excited when I see your numbers go up. Have a great day.
Glad you like them! You are my Subscriber Number Lady!!! LOL! I can count on you to keep my going with my growing numbers!! :) Thanks so much for being loyal:)
As an aside...Do you think Maxwell would like to try some moose dogs?! Back to colors... I’m looking at my new computer screen with all the different colored umbrellas thinking they would look great in a quilt. I ask you also again. When do you eat, sleep, cook, house clean,laundry? I guess I need to get more organized.
Moose dogs? Like in Moose Hot Dogs?!!? LOL! WOW!! He would love them ~ 'game' for anything!! I think my Dear Jean quilt center medallion will look a bit like my color wheel when I go to make it!! It will be a Dresden Plate, but I will most probably arrange the colors in the color wheel way! With the family all grown and moved out, I DO have time now during the day and with a smaller home I can get housework done quite quickly! Instead of running a small 'hotel' for what used to be 12 people including the cleaning, cooking, shopping and laundry for that lot ~ I am now just having to look after the 3 of us!! YIPPEE!!!!! LOL! So it's quite easy to get stuff done and then go and quilt! :)
Those colors look so good laid out like that, wouldn't it be beautiful to use all those colors in a quilt with a starburst type center using all of those colors to make a color wheel quilt
I think that will be my 'look' for the center of my Jean's Block Party medallion quilt that is slowly evolving! A large Dresden Plate in all the colors of the rainbow:)
Excellent. Will watch this again. Thanks.
Awesome, thank you Linda:)
That was brilliant Jean
Aw thanks Jane:)
I am going to have to get a color wheel....thanks again for sharing and I loved this video.
Please do! It makes a lot of sense Christine:)
Yes, Jean. You are very good with colour. I thought you applied colour intuitively as you have done with the necklace and top you are wearing today
Oh thank you Jed!
Thank you for a great explanation xx I love everything colourful xx
You’re welcome Justine:)😊
Thanks so much for his tutorial, I have literally Just brought the colour wheel you have , as I struggle with colour combinations. And had some absolute disasters lol, now, if you can just help me with having more time to sew that would be amazing lol. Ps ,I laughed out loud at you and Ian singing my old mans a dustman on a previous video. Brought back some great memories for me xx
Thanks Kim! I will try to arrange the clock differently so that you have more time to sew!! LOL! :) And our silly old London pub song!! :)
Thank you Jean, excellent 😊
Glad you liked it!
your quilts are all sooo beautifull!!!
Glad you like them Suzy;)
Thank you. I have a better understanding now.
Glad it helped!
Jean, you are so talented and indeed a true artist. I remember when you made the guitar quilt. You are such a generous person to share your insight into quilting and the color wheel. I still can’t believe how lucky I was to find your channel years ago on “how to make a quilt square in minutes”. You are always inspiring me to do better and not limit myself. By the way, the music fit viewing the photos. Thank you.
Thank you so much! My '10 minute quilt block'....one of my most popular videos! AND you have stuck with me for all these years!! YAY!!
So helpful Jean, thank you.
Glad it was helpful Marie:)
Seeing you with your grandson was priceless. Maybe you will appreciate that my daughter had a box of clothes to give away by her front door. When he two year old son saw them he began to lay them flat on their coffee table and one by one slid them gently across as if guiiding them through a sewing machine saying, "Mom, I'm sewing!" Nothing like passing on the love of fabrics and our reliable machines.
I was introduced to a color wheel when taking interior design back in high school. Little did I know how valuable that information would be forty years later as I learn to quilt. This information is wonderful and the music sounded just like a music box. I loved it!
Thanks Rosemary! Our GRANDDAUGHTER looks like a little boy here...LOL...She didn't have hair for a while! LOL! Your grandson sound so sweet! :) The music is copyright free for UA-cam creators. There is a nice choice so I'm changing it up a bit! :)
Enjoyed this so much ... many thanks 😊
My pleasure Julie😊
Thanks again Jean for the wonderful tutorial! I love watching and learning from you!
Thanks for watching Sharon:)
Beautiful quilts xx
Glad you like them!
Thank you for sharing this information. I have a small color wheel and love it. I still look at it and say I just don't know if those colors really go together. Love the quilts you shared at the end.
You can do it Regina! Just look at the basics....and that's all you really need:) Just remember, if you LOVE a fabric, work from there:)
Great presentation.
Glad you liked it!
As a paper crafter for many years, I loved & used my color wheel often. An essential tool! Love the grandbaby pic. He has Ian's eyes!
Thanks for sharing!! Actually SHE has Ian's eyes...our granddaughter ~ took a while for her hair to grow in!! LOL! LOL!
@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory my apologies! Her shirt looked boy-ish. Our babies took forever to get their hair too. Love 'em regardless. Hopefully they will still love us when we are old and bald. Lol!
LOL! About that old and bald...coming soon to a town near us! :) LOL!
Amazing Jean
Thanks Donna;)
Excellent....... I love this.❤️❤️
Thank you:)
Something that I never thought to get but your explanation makes so much sense in how helpful a color wheel will be with the dreadful guessing game of matching colors. I have to say that choosing fabrics is the worst part of quilting for me. I’m horrible with choices.🥴
Glad it was helpful Jill! Don't say you are horrible...you may just need a bit of a push in another direction:)
One of my favorite artists is Ton Schulten, the colors you chose for your demo reminded me of his paintings! You truly have an artists eye Jean. Anyone following your color wheel advice should quickly gain confidence in their fabric choices.
Aw thanks Becky!:) You are very kind::)
Wonderful presentation on color Jean. Loved seeing the examples of color in the quilts. Thank you.
You are so welcome Angela;)
Jean, this helps me so much! I have ordered a color wheel which I know will help a lot, though I wish I had your artist's brain to go with it. Thank you for this wonderful video!
You are so welcome!
Thank you
You're welcome!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, Jean. I'm often pulling out my color tool when putting together a sampler block. Thanks for making this video!
You are so welcome Millie:)
Ever soo helpful, as usual!
Thanks Jean♥️
Glad you think so Irene:)
Ready good discussion and demonstration of color wheel examples! That word, tertiary, pronounced "tershiary". Easier than it looks! (My medical laboratory background showing through- 🤓🧪⚗🧫🔬)
I should have had it spelled out like that....tersh ~ er ~ airy !! LOL! thanks Joan:)
❤❤❤
Wonderful presentation. I’m not great at mixing colors.
You can do it Helen! Just choose a fabric you love and work out from there:)
Hi Jean, Thank you for the great video. Boy have I forgot alot. I guess I better go back to grade school and learn about all the colors. Should have paid more attention back then .lol Love the quilts at the end. Did you make them? Thanks again and as always I do enjoy watching your videos.
You are so welcome! I made several of the quilts at the end yes:) Not all of them though. THanks for taking time to watch me Carol:)
❤️💛💙
I really enjoyed this. I have been lucky with quilts I have made but when I look at my fabric stash I am paralyzed to pull for a quilt.
You can do it! If you like the colors, just make the quilt! It will surely turn out FOR YOU!! :) Thanks Chris:)
@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory Thanks for the encouragement! 😊
