3.0 out of 5 stars
good for getting a feel for different pattern combinations, March 3, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pattern Book: 64,000 Pattern Combinations for Your Home (Hardcover)
I was really excited when I ordered the book, because I thought the idea of showing how different patterns looked with each other was a great idea. However the text was very confusing, and still didn't give me a clue on how to mix and match fabrics. The author divided all patterns into 3 categories which I felt were too broad and rather vague, and the samples shown in the book aren't to scale. How can you really mix and match fabrics without proper scale? The book that I really like is "Fabrique Technique," as it gives you all the elements, such as scale, contrast, texture, etc. to use with each fabric selected. It also gives a "formula" for using multiple fabrics in a room, with worksheets and stickers. .
