March 1st, and time for a new Book of the Month selection. This one goes to Becky Goldsmith's The Quilter's Practical Guide to Color (affiliate link).
Yes, it's time to move on, though I certainly enjoyed Improv Patchwork (affiliate link) over the last two months as verified by Hippo Blue, Love Match, Zee Quilt, and a fourth creation revealed tomorrow. It certainly was fun to just cut fabric and sew,without a lot of seams to match.
Maria did a pretty good job discussing choosing a color palette, and I wish I had explored color schemes a bit more, but was hesitant to cut into my solids. To get over that, I want to explore color a bit more, as choosing color schemes is something we deal with every time we make a quilt. I hope to share some of Becky's insights of color relationships, and make us all a bit more confident.
Happy Quilting!
As always, I am interested to see what you learn. I am sure I could use some color help myself! Maybe a lot!
ReplyDeleteI'll try not to disappoint! After reading the first few pages, I've already learned a couple things, which I'll share later. I'm really liking her conversation style and examples in this book. A lot of color books can be very cut and dry.
