I encourage you to use Quiltster to color your quilt.  Quiltster is a color design subscription-based software (it is accessed via the internet) for coloring Quiltworx patterns.  It is available from www.Quiltster.com for a nominal fee.  If you decide not to subscribe to Quiltster, I can help you color your quilt using my Quiltster account.  Please let me know if you would like me to help you with your colors.  Once you have colored your quilt, Quiltster will give you a yardage table to help with fabric purchases. 

If you have any questions, please call or e-mail.

Thanks…See you in class!!!
