I have downloaded a couple of books from the C&T publishing website. I am much too impatient and love that I can read them without having to wait for the postman. The one I am reading currently is "Setting Soloutions" by Sharyn Craig. It gives lots of wonderful ideas on how to lay out your quilts for a different look or how to use orpahn blocks. Sharyn has done a great job of breaking down quilt lay outs so that you can replicate them if you wish or give them a twist to creat your own.
Sharyn has a chapter called Color Correction. Colour can be something that stumps many quilters. I know some people who agonise over whether something will go together or not. Sharyn has a fantastic comment within this chapter- all colours go together "Just walk outside and look around you." Our environment does not stress about colour rules and what goes together or not. Try it out in your next quilt.
