Summary: Simple idea S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D too far...
Review: The premise of the book is summed up simply if you put contrasting colors together, they...ummm contrast...

Pretty pictures sure but nothing in techniques, or theory that shake the foundation of quilting. There are many other authors who have put more work into color theory, and design whose books would be a better addition to your collection.

Summary: Sizzling Design Ideas!
Review: Wonderful resource for stretching your design sense - expand your understanding of the use of value in a quilt and make a stunning traditional design (with sizzling innovation)or an innovative new quilt design which incorporates elements of traditional design. Incidentally, the quilts are also fun to make. Margaret is an excellent teacher and writer. When you've absorbed Strips That Sizzle, move on to Easy Pieces.
