3.0 out of 5 stars More Color Please, June 2, 2001

By	L.O'Bannion (Southwestern United States) - See all my reviews

I enjoyed Ms. Horton's talk about color and Amish quilts on Alex Anderson's "Simply Quilts." So I bought the book thinking there would be a lot more information. Yes, she does have some color info and pictures of Amish style quilts, but the actual color illustrations are limited and positioned in the middle of the book. It would have been more helpful to have had several color examples along side the info and explanations given.

I don't buy a book about color to see black and white diagrams.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book about color and quilts, March 15, 1999

I really enjoyed this book and it's clear and concise coverage on color. I like finding out what makes those Amish quilts so great and I'm translating the lesson into my new quilts. Buy it!
