HOW TO USE A COLOR WHEEL IN QUILTING | Using a color wheel to select fabrics for quilting

How to use a color wheel in Quilting, or how to choose colors for your quilt and using a color wheel to select fabrics for quilting. So many quilters and sewists find selecting fabric combinations for projects or blocks to be really difficult. We hear the advice ,"use the color wheel," all the time. But what does that actually mean? I've seen a lot of videos explaining the color theory behind using the color wheel as a tool, but little practical application on how to ACTUALLY USE IT WHEN PICKING FABRICS.

In this video, I'm going to share a basic explanation about how the wheel works, and then I'll show some fabric pairings and discuss why or why not they work or don't work. This is a pretty big topic, so consider this something to get your creative wheels turning.
