Drawn from her own experience in teaching and making quilts, Jinny Beyer's 'Master Palette' system is great for quilters who want to develop color confidence quickly and easily without studying formal color theory. Quilters will learn how to create a smooth-flowing palette with no jumps from dark to light or from one color to the next, and will also learn the secrets to 'coloring' a quilt by shading colors and fabrics or scattering them throughout a quilt. Practice exercises help crafters combine colors again and again until they can confidently choose colors for any project. Includes eight quilt patterns and templates that encourage quilters to stretch their palette, a handy eight'step guide to creating a multi-color, multi-print quilt, 128 color swatches, two master palettes, and an eight-course outline and suggestions for color teachers. This book presents Jinny Beyer's practical 'Master Palette'-methodology, a structured, hands-on approach to developing colour fluency in quilting. Eschewing formal colour theory, Beyer walks the reader through principles of tonal progression, hue variation, and fabric distribution across patchwork designs. Through guided practice exercises, quilters repeatedly engage with combinations until intuitive colour selection becomes second nature. The volume also includes eight quilt patterns and templates crafted to challenge the maker's palette, a step-by-step eight-phase plan for assembling multi?colour, multi-print quilts, and essential teaching aids such as 128 printed colour swatches, dual master palettes, and curriculum outlines for educators. Academically, it bridges craft pedagogy, visual design principles, and applied colour theory in a craft context, serving both independent learners and instructors in quilting workshops and design courses.
