Review
Joen Wolfrom's thoughtful book encourages the beginning and the more advanced quiltmaker to explore new techniques and design ideas. It includes chapters on color study and special visual effects as well as a procedural guide and a glossary of terms. Even if the readers do not want to quilt the landscape images which are the focus of the book, every quiltmaker who needs courage to design his/her own works will find this a useful addition to their library. -- From Independent Publisher

Don't stop at the black and white color wheel . . . .,
This review is from: Landscapes & Illusions: Creating Scenic Imagery in Fabric (Paperback)
Once I got over the fact that there is a line drawing (black & white) of a color wheel, with the names of the colors printed around it . . . I decided that this is an extremely informative book. I'm used to quilting books that dazzle with color on every page - but not this one. There is a mid section of 12 or 15 pgs. with gorgeous quilts, and a description by each of why the quilt "works". This book has well written explanations and drawings of balance, proportion, hues, tints, shapes, etc. and how each of these make us "feel" when used in different ways. Wolfrom is very, very detailed and thorough in the steps of planning a landscape quilt - from conception of an idea (she suggests excersizes to learn personal preference) to various forms of quilting the finished product to give it more impact. When I talked myself past that black and white color wheel, I decided this is an excellent book. A book to learn by, not to drool over. Color in the wheel (and a catchier cover) would have earned it 5 stars.
