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.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   23 of 23 people found the following review helpful: A fabric-based book on color, January 10, 1998 By  mpreeve@alum.mit.edu "mpreeve3" (Cambridge, MA) - See all my reviews If you want to know why some of the color schemes in your quilts work or don't (!) this is a great book to read. Unlike many other general texts on color, this book relates to the color and texture of fabric, making it easier to apply color techniques to your own quilts. I would have liked more examples of each of the types of color schemes and fabrics on the color wheel, but it has definitely changed the way I view fabrics and color in the world at large. I would definitely recommend it if you want to learn more about color interactions.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
