Color Play: Easy Steps to Imaginative Color in Quilts

An exploration of selecting and using colour in quiltmaking. The chapters discuss 14 colours, their characteristics, and the combinations that make them look good in a quilt design. Sample fabric arrangements are provided to make colour concepts easy to understand. Joen Wolfrom explores colour scales — the variations of pure colour, tints, shades and tones — and how they affect the mood of a quilt. She discusses the illusions you can create using colour, such as highlights, shadows, depth, transparency, and more. There is also a gallery of over 70 quilts illustrating her techniques for choosing colours.
