City Quilts: 12 Dramatic Projects Inspired By Urban Views [Paperback] Review

City Quilts: 12 Dramatic Projects Inspired By Urban Views [Paperback]In City Quilts, one of my favorite quilt designers, Cherri House, demonstrates how basic geometric shapes and the use of boldly-colored fabrics can create the breathtakingly beautiful quilts.The patterns and textures of cityscapes, both architectural and the layout of a city itself, inspired these quilt patterns.The simple lines and shapes in these quilts coupled with the bold use of color provide a "wow" factor that is sure to delight quilters from novice to expert.

I especially loved Cherri's discussion on color, and her reference to "a quilter's palette".She gives a brief, but thoroughly informative discourse on color schemes, which serves as a springboard in one's own palette discovery or a challenge to an quilt dog to try some new color tricks.

In City Quilts, Cherri shows us how we can train our eyes to see more than what's in front of us, and to see a quilt in everything.Bravo!
