Summary
Start with the 10 principles that are the core of the Color Mastery process to achieve brilliant color with your stash. But that’s just the beginning. Color Mastery includes a quilter’s toolkit of over 50 proven techniques to use with the fabrics you already own so you will never run out of fresh color ideas for any type of quilt: art, traditional, contemporary, reproduction, it doesn’t matter. You can become a color master and achieve outstanding color with every quilt you make.
Transcend the “matching to the focus fabric” habit and instead develop your own imaginative color combinations. Whether you are a traditional quilter trapped in a color rut or an art quilter looking for a deeper understanding of color, Color Mastery is your essential guide for a revolutionary new way of approaching color in your quilts.
