Quiltmaker’s super-sized July/August and September/October 2024 issue is all about color! There is something magical about color.

Color has an uncanny ability to speak to our souls and ignite our imaginations! In this vibrant collector’s edition, we share a kaleidoscope of patterns and features. We’ll show you how the color wheel, like a quilter’s compass, can successfully guide you through the vast expanse of color combinations. There is a whole spectrum of possibilities waiting to be explored! From bold and bright designs to soft, soothing palettes, you will find something for every taste and style.
