Book Description

Needlework & Quilting January 11, 1992
Drawn from her own experience in teaching and making quilts, Jinny Beyer's "Master Palette" system is great for quilters who want to develop color confidence quickly and easily without studying formal color theory. Quilters will learn how to create a smooth-flowing palette with no jumps from dark to light or one color to the next, and will also learn the secrets to "coloring" a quilt by shading colors and fabrics or scattering them throughout a quilt. Practice exercises help crafters combine colors again and again until they can confidently choose colors for any project. Includes eight quilt patterns and templates that encourage quilters to stretch their palette, handy eight-step guide to creating a multi-color, multiprint quilt, 128 color swatches, two master palettes, and eight-course outline and suggestions for color teachers. Jinny Beyer is one of the best-known and most highly respected fabric designers in the quiltmaking industry. Her signature line of fabrics, produced by RJR Fashion Fabrics, is sold throughout the world. Home: Great Falls, VA

5.0 out of 5 stars A great reference for quilters of all experience levels, July 16, 1998
By A Customer
Beyers' color tips are right on target. Her recommendations for choosing dark, light, and accent fabrics for any quilt can truly result in gorgeous works of art. The book is written so that even a novice quilter can understand exactly what to do. There are many color examples and opportunities to practice the skills she teaches. Finally, the color chips inserted at the back of the book are great for planning any quilt, and can be cut out and carried along to the fabric store for precision selection.

This review is from: Jinny Beyer's Color Confidence For Quilters (Paperback)
Beyer's no-nonsense approach gives quilters the tools to create their own personal-preference color schemes, with pizzazz. I read the book, spent a few hours trying out her techniques from my fabric stash, and then started quilting; since that time, I tend to hear "You do such great things with color. . ."! I recommend this book highly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jenny Beyer's Color Confidence for Quilters, July 3, 2001
By 
This review is from: Jinny Beyer's Color Confidence For Quilters (Paperback)
This book is an excellent starting place for quilters in the study of colors to choose for quilting. The books approach is to choose your main fabric and use it as the bases for your other choices. This is sometimes called a color focus technique or decorator technique. I highly recommend it to anyone who is struggling with choosing fabric for quilts.
