See what your local library has (look in art instruction, too) and what you might borrow from fellow quilters.
I've requested this from the library. Thanks.

Joen Wolfram has good color and design books--several. Check out C & T (not Connecting Threads) Publishing--they have many excellent books on quilting and color. Also, get a good color wheel (they also carry one of these) that is large enough for you to actually see the colors and the different hues, , tints, shades and their values.
If you had to pick one book, which would it be? I can't seem to find any of her books in any Ohio library.

I found this one at the library also. Thanks

Interesting. I do have developing cataracts that aren't 'ripe' enough for surgery. I wish they were, since I would benefit from a glaucoma surgery that insurance will only pay for if it's done at the same time as cataract surgery.
