Reviews / Votes
Sept 11Most quilters at some point need help with color and Christine Barnes offers the perfect way for you to gain color confidence. She found that when students took her workshops they wanted more color help, particularly in a group setting. That led to her creating a "color club," where you can work with friends to explore color concepts and get feedback. She even offers tips if you want to work as a "color club of one." The club works by following 12 hands-on exercises titled "Give It a Try!" In addition to the 12 exercises, Christine offers eight projects that build on what you've learned about color, including value, intensity, visual temperature, luminosity and more. The gallery section of the book features 35 examples of quilts and vests that demonstrate the color qualities. Christine also answers questions that she frequently gets from quilters about color. I loved Christine's practical, easy-to-follow approach to understanding color concepts, and anyone who "joins the club" will see positive results in the color in her quilts. * Professional Quilter *
