Color, Contrast & Cohesion: A Design Class with Diane Harris
When guilds and shops schedule this class, people often want to know more about it before they sign up. I built this page to share additional CCC information.
I will cover these ideas during class.
- Value
- Contrast
- Scale
- Texture
- Color
- Clarity
- The chaos quilt
- Tying it all together
We keep the piecing simple.
You’ll be learning by leaps and bounds about CCC and I don’t want you to struggle with the piecing. Your focus will need to be on the three C’s, so you’ll choose between these simple designs:
- Baby Windmills
- Puzzle Box (download from christaquilts.com)
- I Spy a Milk Cow
- The Brick Block
All of the patterns above are included; the Christa Quilts pattern is a complimentary download.

We’ll have a great time during class!
I’d love to have you join me for Color, Contrast & Cohesion soon. I will challenge you and cheer you on. I will guide you gently and help you enthusiastically. I will discover your strengths and help you shore up the skills that you want to polish.
I can’t wait to meet you!
