Modern Mix
Jessica Levitt
Stash Books; $21.95

When Jessica Levitt set out to write her book, she challenged herself to create projects that used both designer prints and solid colors. What sets the projects apart is that she uses a full range of colors. To me the modern quilt movement quilts seem crisp and fresh because of the white or lighter backgrounds. Many of Jessica’s quilts used dark backgrounds or dark accent pieces. For those unfamiliar with color, she includes a basic discussion of color theory and quiltmaking. The 16 projects range from full-sized quilts to a quilted camera case. As someone who has been quilting many years, it was also fun to see a string quilt.
