We Love Color: 16 Iconic Quilt Designers Create with Kona Solids
Susanne Woods, Compiler
C&T Publishing; $23.95
Who doesn’t love color? We Love Color is a collection of 16 quilts made by some
of today’s leading designers in the modern quilt movement. They all use solid Kona
cottons from Robert Kaufman Company. Some of the quilts look quite traditional,
some abstract. You’ll find structured pieced quilts and free-form landscapes. I
was particularly taken by Orbit by Jennifer Sampou made with improvisational circles
and strips. The book also includes an interview with Denyse Schmidt about her Paper
Bag Piecing technique, which she uses to help student choose and combine colors
to create their own one-of-a-kind quilts. A resource guide showcasing all the Kona
cottons used in the book is included.
Look for the book at your favorite quilt or book retailer. Here’s a link to Amazon if you would like to learn more about the book.
