This is a good one! - Reviewed on 2008-11-05

I admit I am a quilt book addict, and when in doubt, I buy it. Many books turn out to be of little value, but this book presents important concepts that every quilter, especially beginning quilters, would find helpful. We know the simplest design can be a knockout if the colors are eye-catching and somewhat of a surprise; this book shows you how to make it happen. Joen presents these important concepts in an easy to understand way, with plenty of pictured quilts as examples. It's a reference book that quilters would use often when planning a new project. I keep a color wheel taped to my sewing room wall; this book will encourage you to do the same.

This book is an excellent resource book not only for quilting but for other forms of artwork. The author gives myriad examples of color interplay. I learned not only about complementary colors but aslo about triads and other color settings. Although the author provides photos of quilts to illustrate certain points, this is not simply a dictionary of quilts; it is truly a book about the use of color. Not only do I review this book when planning a new quilting project, but I peruse the pages just for fun, even when I don't have a specific project in mind. This book is a "must-have" for quilters.

I have purchased many quilt books over the years and this is by far one of the best I have seen. I use is for both my personal use and for my textile classes.

Excellent! Having been a photographer, I had some study in color, but this booklet goes well beyond my basic study. At the same time it is well written, in an well illustrated, easy-to-understand, language for the quilter or general textile art worker.
