Very minimal. She doesn't even get the colorwheel correct with Joen Wolfram's color wheel in her hand. At a few points, I thought she might go further into how color works, such as atmospheric perspective and with small prints altering overall color impression, but she stops short. Disappointing. I purchased the class to see how color theory is being taught to quilters, only to find that it actually isn't being taught at all.

I must spend hours trying to find the right fabrics for a quilt. This class has taken the fear out of getting it right. Great class.

This video was great to watch. I am a beginner quilter, and found it leaving me encouraged that I too can do this. I have always loved color, and the confidence I am walking away with is phenomenal. The instruction is well done, clear, and concise. I would recommend it to everyone.
