Pre-order now and save on my my newest book, Crack the Color Code: Add Drama to Your Design Using the Secrets of Color Interaction! It’s scheduled for release in early August 2025. (Available to U.S. residents only at this time. I am working with a distributor to get it into the hands of Canadian quilt shops and will let Canadian quilt shops know when and where they can order.) By pre-ordering, you’ll receive the pre-order price of $30, rather than the final price of $35 once books begin to ship.
Josef Albers, the great artist and educator of the twentieth century, acknowledged how tricky colors can be. In his words, “Colors deceive continuously.” As artists, how do we navigate this world of deception? Luckily, by using a few rules, we can predict how color will try to deceive us and thereby increase our color confidence.
I’ll introduce you to the rules of color interaction based on the groundbreaking work of M.E. Chevreul and show you how to apply them to your own quilt design to create dramatic effects – regardless of your subject matter. For example, I’ll show you how to:
- Add sparkle (“bling”!) to your quilts.
- Create dramatic focal points.
- Add exciting visual movement.
- Create the illusion of metal surfaces without using metallic materials.
- Make your quilts glow as though they were lit from within.
- Create powerful transparencies.
- Alter the appearance of a color simply by pairing with another color.
I wish someone had shared these ideas with me decades ago! I would have been spared many hours of frustration and confusion. My goal is for you to use these concepts to transform your quilt designs into dynamic, exciting, and joyful works of art.
