Hello,

I am new to the list, my name is Ashleigh and I live in Arizona. I
have always enjoyed creating and making things! I apologize in advance
for the length of this email.

I've recently begin learning how to quilt and it has been quite a
process. I am experimenting with tactile techniques and strategies,
which has been both frustrating and fun.

My main question in this message is if anyone has knowledge of where
to get an accessible color wheel? I watch many YouTube videos about
quilting and they often refer to color wheels when selecting
colors/patterns for fabric. I am finding this part very challenging.

I am completely blind and do have memories of basic colors. However,
things get complex when quilting patterns refer to choosing fabric A
with more contrast than fabric B, and choosing fabric C with less
saturation than fabric D... etc.

If anyone knows of where I can obtain a color wheel that is tactile,
that would be treat. Or, if anyone has other suggestions of how I can
compare and contrast random colors, non-visually,  to gain a better
understanding of how to make my patterns more visually appealing, that
would also be great!

Thanks!
Ashleigh Moon
