Synopsis

Take the mystery out of color! Learn how to build a color scheme that works (or fix one that doesn’t) and find out why certain colors interact to create powerful--and sometimes surprising--visual effects.

· Make the leap from color theory to using color in quilts with nine step-by-step exercises, plus six projects

· Go beyond "safe" color combinations with simple strategies and tips for creating quilts that sing

· Color-splashed photos of fabrics, blocks, and quilts bring the color concepts to life, while a reader-friendly style makes the learning easy and fun

From Library Journal:

Barnes makes good use of illustrations in this lively, easy-to-understand explanation of the language of color, which emphasizes the importance of color value to quilters. Included is a color workshop with exercises appropriate for use by individuals, quilt guilds, or classes. An excellent book that should be a popular addition to all public library quilting collections.
