Quilters have always pondered why some colors have movement and others do not. They need ponder no longer for, finally, here is a book for quilters (and artists, decorators, and others) on how to best combine colors. The book has a skillful arrangement: 22 principal colors are featured on a double-page chart. Three recognizable quilt patterns are used as examples: pinwheel, chum dash, and the Ohio star. Extra colors are progressively added, and varieties of print and solid fabrics grace the page. There is some text on subjects such as creating an old-fashioned look, using warm and cool colors, and working with pastels and creating texture. Ten full-size quilts enhance the full-color pages. A wonderful resource for quilters and a must for popular collections. Iva Freeman
