Forget the Color Wheel...
Color Flow Theory Course
A practical, repeatable way to choose fabric with confidence—every time.
You’ll learn how to see color differently, trust your decisions, and create quilts that feel alive—on purpose.
“I finally understand why my colors weren’t working — and how to fix it. Color Flow gave me confidence I didn’t know I was missing.”
No Color Wheel Necessary
Color Flow Theory teaches you how to arrange fabric so your quilt feels intentional, balanced, and full of movement—without perfect palettes, rigid rules, or second-guessing every choice.
This course is for quilters who love color…
but feel stuck when it’s time to actually use it.
What Is Color Flow Theory?
Color Flow is Mitzie's signature system for arranging fabric by hue and value so your quilts feel balanced, dynamic, and intentional — without rigid rules. It's the foundation of every Jittery Wings pattern and course.

Who this is Perfect for...
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
You might love fabric, but:
Your pulls feel chaotic once you lay them out
You keep choosing the same colors over and over
Something looks “off,” but you can’t explain why
You rearrange endlessly and still don’t feel finished
You’ve been told to “trust your eye,” but no one taught you how
Color Flow Theory was created for quilters who want clarity, not more rules—and who want a process they can return to again and again.
Color Flow Theory is a visual decision-making framework that helps you:
Understand how colors relate to one another
Arrange fabric to create natural movement
Balance color and value without overthinking
Know when something belongs—and when it doesn’t
This is not a palette-copying course.
This is not a “do it my way” method.
It’s a way to build confidence by understanding what you’re seeing—so you can make decisions that feel right to you.
What Color Flow Theory Actually Is...
This isn’t about being good at color. It’s about having a system.

“For the longest time I just felt like I wasn’t good at color and that meant something was wrong with me. Now I know how to look at fabrics and put them in order. The order tells me if the colors work together. I wasn’t the problem. I just needed a system.”
Confidence is possible.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Use ROYGBIV as a practical tool (not a childhood memory trick)
Identify color families and undertones in real fabric
Balance light, medium, and dark without flattening your quilt
Build a complete color flow line—even with gaps or limited colors
Evaluate your final palette with clarity instead of doubt
Stop endlessly rearranging and know when you’re done
