Summary: Simplistic.
Review: Even though most of us have some knowledge of color combining, it's great to be shown specific groupings and to be given the reasons why some colors work and others don't. Some mysteries are great, but color combining shouldn't be.

Summary: Truly Magic
Review: I have a number of quilt pattern books, but the quilts I made were "blah". This book helped me learn how to combine fabric colors, values and textures to make eye-catching quilts. Plus there were full-size patterns included that serve as examples of the principles taught in the book, and quilts range from quick-and-easy rotary strip quilts to complex paper pieced quilts. In addition, the "block makeover" double-page section gave me further insight in the difference the colors, values and textures can make in the finished blocks. I got hundreds of color combination ideas from this one book...it is now my favorite quilt book!

Summary: Well laid out and action oriented
Review: I have several colour books now and this is the one to which I refer most often. I like the way the author has laid out the colour wheel and as I work I leave the relevant wheel open so I can check what I am doing.
her projects range from easy to thought provoking and I have found them very good instructions to use with my patchwork students.

Summary: 1st book for any quilter
Review: I received this book as a Christmas Present a few years ago. This book is excellant for finding a color combination or a color change. I use this book first whenever I want to sew a new quilt. It is a basic and VERY good book to get the mind working for new color schemes.

Summary: Take control of your color choices
Review: This book lays out a method of choosing color combinations based on a color wheel. As a quilter, you have probably been doing this all along without realizing it. I've usually found a calico I like, and then choose the complimentary fabrics. That has worked for me because I was choosing calicoes that had a definite harmony in them.This book will help you become even bolder in your choices, and you will see harmonies where you don't expect them. Also helpful is the "color workshop" at the back of the book that can help you decide what colors to choose based on the mood you are looking for. All in all, a fun and enlightening read.
