I am enjoying a color theory 101 class. We have an assignment to create something using all of the different color schemes.

I share my quilts with the class and our instructor encourages me to use what I learn in fabric.

Does anyone have any ideas on which quilt block or pattern I might use to demonstrate color schemes.
It doesn't need to be a large project, just a wall hanging or table topper would be fine.

Just looking for some different ideas.

How cool!!! Log cabin??? Would love to see your completed project!

Hello, I just looked at a tutorial on French Braid. Looks like it would be perfect for this, however, I may not be right.LOL

Many years back I took a course, I'll try to attach a photo of the wallhanging our teacher had us make. [ATTACH=CONFIG]427381[/ATTACH]
I'm sorry I don't remember how I made it, but the teacher was Jane Norquay here in BC

Just found a 2nd sample from that same class, maybe it might also give you an idea? [ATTACH=CONFIG]427383[/ATTACH]

Without also participating in the class to know what "color schemes" you have studied it is difficult to offer a suggestion. Color scheme can mean any number of things. Like you may have studied "Monochromatic" color schemes, or graduated color wheel color schemes (going from like say yellow to orange to red to purple to blue to green back to yellow with the tertiary colors included) or did you study Complimentary color schemes (the opposing side of the color wheel, like Green's compliment is Red, Blue's is Orange, Purple is Yellow). Has Achromatic color scheme been discussed? (no color just value in shades of grays (this would make a cool background))
If you tell us what color schemes you studied then maybe we can offer suggestions more directed to the assignment. French braid is definitely a possibility as is log cabin, Pineapple, chinese coin or even a quilted depiction of the color wheel using a wedge ruler.

A dresden plate or grandmother's fan would give you options for lots of colors.

I want to make some blocks= a small quilt demonstrating harmonies and schemes of color theory.

I am looking for ideas of blocks I could use to demonstrate.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but I thought of it when I read your post.
