Step-by-step instructions show you how to create an Impressionistic masterpiece from fabric. You'll love the easy-to-follow exercises for planning your quilt and using color to create a watercolor effect in the style of Impressionist painters. Editorial Reviews From Booklist Unlike traditional quilts in which the color scheme is the key element, watercolor quilts, often mood pieces intended to be hung on a wall, are constructed with more attention to the fabric design and to color values than to the actual hues used. Manipulating small squares of fabric into a flowing design--a "wash of color," so to speak--takes not only patience, but good design sense and thorough planning. In this remarkable, unusual book, Magaret and Slusser explain how it's done--including advice on everything from choosing appropriate fabric designs to stitching and binding--using lots of color photographs to ease crafters through the basics as well as to provide them with some specific projects and a gallery of gorgeous design possibilities. A book that calls out loudly to the artist lurking in every handicrafter. Stephanie Zvirin |
