Part One contains the practicalities: * Colour theory explored through the use of fabric. Which fabrics will harmonize (or clash) with which? * Invaluable methods for colouring your own fabric * Tips on how to observe and record colour, including keeping colour sketchbooks and mood boards Part Two, illustrated with stunning images from today's best quiltmakers, covers: * Monochrome: how to create striking two-colour quilts, and how to introduce further colours * A Sense of Place: how travel and observation can inspire your colour choices, which can be used to recreate favourite locations and memories in your quilts * Colour, Light and Pattern: how to bring joyous light and colour effects to your quilts, including an understanding of tonal values in relation to pattern * Colour Association: how colour can be used to create mood and atmosphere, and to suggest a range of emotions from perfect calm to hectic turmoil.

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a lovely book which gives an insight into the thinking behind and making of an art quilt. It contains instructions for the techniques (dyeing, dye painting, mono printing, screen printing etc.) but is not an instructional book per se, especially as the lack of an index makes it rather frustrating to find the technique you are looking for. But it is billed as a book about colour in art quilts and it is bursting with colour on every page, with numerous illustrations of both Janet's work and the work of other contemporary quilt artists. Well worth having if you are already a "modern" quilter looking for ideas to add that extra something to your work.
