Once you look at quilts through the eyes of this colourwash artist, your view will never be the same.

English quilt artist Deirdre Amsden is widely recognized as the first quilter to develop colourwash techniques. Here is the book that gives you an informative and instructive insight into her distinct style and working methods.

Detailed instructions, beautiful illustrations, learning exercises and lavish color photographs help you easily grasp the important concepts of value, scale and color.

Easy to understand construction methods and techniques take you from cutting to sewing and quilting with no chance for confusion.

Step by step instructions, templates and working plans for seven projects - from a small cushion cover to a bed size quilt - give you a chance to make a proven pattern first before applying Deidre's techniques to your personally designed work of art.

Once you've tried the techniques of Colourwash Quilts, you'll have the skills to become a master at blending, relating and contrasting color, value and texture. We guarantee your view of color in quilts will never be the same.
