Color from the Heart: Seven Great Ways to Make Quilts with Colors You Love [Illustrated] [Paperback] Review

Gai Perry deserves two "thumbs up" for this highly creative,informational guide to choosing colors for quiltmaking!
Her approach to sharing her knowledge about a complex issue- color- isfantastic because she gives us precise definitions of different types ofcolors and their characteristics without TELLING US what to do with them orsquashing our individual creative impulses with EXCESSIVE RULES -- In otherwords, she gives us many creative tools, but lets us build what whatever wewant with them!
Another BIG PLUS about Color from the Heart is that itdisplays beautiful color itself...many books on the topic of quilts,colorand other crafts have dull, out-of-focus photos or monotone lineillustrations, but NOT THIS BOOK! Gai has generously packed her book withfresh and brilliant colors (don't miss the excellent section entitled:Quilt Gallery), even in the diagrams, which give specific and cleardescriptions on how to build each quilt block, right down to numbering eachstep and pairing it with a sharp, detailed illustrated guide.You justCAN"T GO WRONG with these instructions!
Finally, the book is writtenin an interesting and conversational style...no confusing chatter,predictable color 'wheels' or boring stories here. This is a book WELLWORTH the price: it truly belongs in every serious quiltmaker'slibrary.
Thanks, Gai! When is your next book coming out!
