Color for Quilters is a excellent book to use for self taught understanding of color. I just completed the center of the quilt design that is on the cover of the book. I just fell in love with the imaginative use of Kaffe Fassett's stripes in that pattern and others in the book. This has been an excellent place for me to start forcing my brain to accept the information on color. You can understand intellectually but it is a different thing to work thru it physically. The thing is I do not expect anyone who does not work with color and design to understand my choices! They don't as they have not traveled thru art classes, sewing classes and given their hearts to color along with me. We are on different tracks..
