As an award-winning quilt artist, I have found that colour value is the tool that allows me to create amazing quilts. The correct use of colour value along with wise colour choices will add excitement to every quilt you make after you learn my simple technique!
If you have a big selection of fabrics and you try to sort them all at one time, you may find sorting your fabrics by value intimidating. My solution for decreasing the intimidation is to make the process an easy series of simple questions. The technique involves isolating the fabrics and concentrating your focus on just two fabrics at a time. The tool I use is a white card with two holes. I call the tool a “Value Isolation Tool”.
