Six Color World: Color, Cloth, Quilts, and Wearables

Luscious colors, strong design, and a bold sense of playfulness pervade both Yvonne Porcella's creations and her enticing book. Information on supplies and a solid introduction to color principles lead to an exciting section on surface design that encourages readers to experiment with different types of resists, salt patterning, brush-stroke variations, sponging, rubber stamping, image transfers, beaded embellishments, and other approaches to putting color and pattern on fabric. Instructions with enlargeable patterns for 16 projects include quilts, vests, jackets, and celebration banners, in styles ranging from bright graphics to subtle marbled effects to designs resembling delicate watercolor paintings. Novices take note: although the basic painting directions are designed for all skill levels, the projects are advanced and the instructions not very thorough; they are clearly meant for experienced seamstresses. --Amy Handy
