Color Harmony for Quilts: A Quiltmaker's Guide to Exploring Color

Summary: A must-have addition to quilters' libraries
Review: Even in the first few pages of this book, I was learning something new about the use of colors in quilting. The book provides illustrations of color combinations and categories; as well as pictures of quilts employing interesting usage of color. There is plenty of wisdom packed into most of the sentences in this book so it is worth the reader's while to read carefully. My only point of contention with this book - and it is a minor one - is that I do wish there mught have been a few more pages, a few more illustrations! Despite that, I deem this a must-have for every quilter's library.

Summary: Valuable Beyond My Expectations !
Review: Read the book through once, then go back and really read it!
Not only do the authors show us their own quilts, they have showcased some of the best known, and unknown quilters intenationally. Every quilt is broken down as to which colors, values and proportions were chosen by the quilter...even the amount of black used in each quilt is represented on a scale. If you don't like the colors the quilter chose, they give you at least 3-4 other colorways and designs to choose from for every quilt shown! I only wish I had this information when I began quilting. Now I know I can break out of the box and create quilts that are really mine.
Thank you Weeks and Bill.
