Product Description
The Ideal Companion to the Ultimate 3-in-1 Color Tool
The colour mapping tool used for each fabric sold at Morris Works Quilt Shop - part of the Morris Code for Fabric.
Discover a more intuitive way to approach colour with the Essential Color Wheel Companion by C & T Publishing, designed by renowned colour expert Joen Wolfrom. This compact, double-sided tool helps quilters, textile artists, and sewists explore harmonious colour combinations with confidence and ease. Whether you’re planning a patchwork quilt, selecting threads for bag making, or designing accessories with impact, this companion will support your creative decisions every step of the way.
On one side, you’ll find 24 pure colours arranged around the wheel, each accompanied by four essential colour-plan diagrams showing split complementary, triadic, tetradic, and analogous schemes. This gives you immediate insight into how colours interact, empowering you to create balanced, expressive palettes without the guesswork. Flip to the reverse to explore a full spectrum of tints, tones, and shades, organised to help you understand value and contrast—critical elements in successful quilt design and fabric coordination.
Crafted with durability and precision in mind, the Essential Color Wheel Companion is based on the Ives scientific colour theory, a respected standard in colour classification for nearly a century. The wheel includes clear viewing slots in each colour wedge, so you can easily audition your fabric swatches, threads, or trims directly against the colour references. This makes it a particularly practical tool for selecting fabrics in-store or pairing materials from your stash with ease.
Compact enough to carry in your project bag, yet detailed enough to support in-depth colour planning, this is a thoughtful addition to any textile maker’s toolkit. Whether you’re a beginner exploring colour for the first time or an experienced quilter refining your palette choices, the Essential Color Wheel Companion brings clarity, inspiration, and craftsmanship to your work.
