will love Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. This is a really interesting book that gave me lots of ideas when it came to making my own quilts. I've gone back to it several times. This is a lovely book about quilting (and I have a lot). I love the glossy way the pages feel and the many pictures and examples you are given. The one thing I've always struggled with (and the ladies at the quilt store always have to help me with) is figuring out which materials go together well. If that's your issue, this is the book for you. I learned so much and really appreciate this book!! While not a quilter, I can appreciate this book and have applied some of the principles to other creative outlets, such as painting - especially the mixing of colors and textures to create a cohesive end product. I requested this not for myself but rather for my daughter who has taken up quilting. She enjoyed this book very much and said it was very helpful and provided many thoughtful suggestions. Employing some of the techniques described in the book the appearance of her quilts has improved dramatically. I agree with others that the book's printing is of high quaility and the photographs and illustrations are excellent. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in quilting. no reviews | add a review

Color Mastery: 10 Principles for Creating Stunning Quilts by Maria Peagler was made available through LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Sign up to possibly get pre-publication copies of books.
I actually found this book very hard to understand and really wordy. I was expecting a book on how to "scheme" your colors for quilts, that's not exactly what this was.
It was more like reading a book on how everyone else's color technique is indescribably horrid. Reading the content I felt like I could never reach her level of mastery.
Not to mention that her color choices were strange and confusing. She described the right way to choose colors and then did the exact opposite in some but NOT all of her "pre-views".
All in all it was NOT a book I would have added to my "growing" collection of quilt, crochet, & craft literature. It just doesn't fit in any way with what I'm used to seeing from a quilt expert. (
