No Way Out—Slice and Dice Series                                                                                                                                                             

Supplies:                                                                                                             

When choosing fabrics, think about the color wheel and how the colors will relate to each other. 

Complementary colors:  select 2 colors that lie opposite each other on the wheel.    Analogous color:  select one color.  Then include 1, 2 or 3 neighboring color from each side of your selected color.  Split complementary:   this combines the complementary colors and the analogous colors.  Select a color and the neighboring colors plus the color on the opposite side of the wheel.  Triadic; select a color and the colors that lie equal distance from each other on the color wheel. Examples:  Complementary:  purple and yellow green.  Analogous: blue violet, violet, red violet, purple, fuchsia, magenta, and blue red.    Split complementary: magenta, fuchsia, purple, red violet, violet plus yellow green.  Triadic:  Orange yellow, aqua green and purple.  The split complementary color scheme is a good one to use for this project.
