\"Fall<\/a><\/p>\n

Tonight I am getting ready for my next trip –
the Color Marketing Group's International Conference in Palm Springs,
California. <\/p>\n

This is a working conference where design professionals gather to develop color
palettes<\/a> to serve as trend forecasting tools for their respective
industries. I'll be a facilitator for one of the workshops, as a CMG
chairholder. It is a crazy intense weekend with fellow color addicts!<\/p>\n

As always, my thoughts are focused on the intersection of what I have recently
experienced, and how that might apply to upcoming trends.<\/p>\n

Because so many of you are huge
fans of Kaffe Fassett and his collective of designers<\/a>, I thought you'd get
a kick out of this quilt by Cynthia Henneke. This is a detail shot of her
armadillo quilt, which was hanging in the quilt exhibit at the Houston Quilt
Festival. <\/p>\n

It is a collage of Kaffe
Fassett Collective prints<\/a>, and the color palette is pretty wild! I have
pulled out a palette of color swatches along the bottom, and I find it pretty
amazing that she used a Southwestern
theme<\/a> (armadillo) and the colors are so decisively spicy and Latin<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Whether you are working in patchwork<\/a> or applique<\/a>,
strip piecing or collage, home dec or fashion, the same color principles are at
work. In this case, I can imagine that Cynthia played around with lots of
fabric combinations before settling on this eye-popping design.<\/p>\n

Starting this week, we are going take you on a Color Journey<\/a> that will wind across a rainbow of hues, exploring the poetry that lies between dark and light, and playing with color
combinations from mystical to modern.<\/p>\n

Every week I'll give you a new color palette with which to play, along with my
usual visual creative inspiration.<\/p>\nShare Post:<\/strong>
