Vibrant Color, Single Star
Katy used the lessons and methods with a dark gray background to make a Vibrant Star.
While Wendy used a riot of scrappy color and print for maximum scrap busting inside the minimalist single star shape.
Discover how you can create visual depth and interest through color and block placement.
Depth and Movement inside the Star
Barbara did this beautifully by taking a single hue (blue) and using dozens of micro shades that make the star points feel like they are receding and advancing like waves. Come learn how mixing different values (lights and darks) creates a shimmer effect that mimics the way light hits a textured surface.
Master mixing motifs to create a 3D feeling like Claudia. Her use of dense, busy prints with a tone on tone make the heart and pinwheel in her quilt pop and shine. Creating a visual anchor that makes the rest of the scrappy star feel it is radiating out in layers.
