LOVE this book. Great inspiration

LOVE this book. Great inspiration and techniques. The little art assignments in this book made me push the window and explore my own inspiration photos and hidden talents. A must have for those wishing to expand their art quilting repertoire.

Develop your skills

Develop your skills using your own intuition regarding color and design. In this follow-up to Intuitive Color and Design, Jean encourages you to express yourself with these nine classroom-tested design assignments. She guides you through the process of art quilting from journaling your ideas to completing your final design.

Love the rich combinations

This book is completely opposite of Quilting Modern in that the quilts are made of many different fabrics, fifteen, twenty or more, per quilt. I love the rich combinations of color and pattern. Another thing I love about this book is the in depth discussion about sources of inspiration, design principles, and color theory. There are great examples of using photos to inspire quilts and color choices. This book is a "must have" in my opinion.

Needs to be in your library

How do you teach someone to work intuitively with color, create improvisational designs, and find their own personal artistic voice? The answer is to expose them to a master teacher and quilt artist like Jean Wells. "I want students to leave the classroom empowered, feeling that they have the foundations and tools to pursue their own ideas and create beautiful quilts." Jean's new book provides that foundation as it guides the reader through her approach to creating art quilts. The eight chapters capture the essence of inspiration and translate it with stunning photographs, practical tips, and most importantly, helpful assignments for the willing student. From sketching in a journal to working with unconventional fabrics and techniques, both the novice and experienced art quilter will find this book a wonderful inspiration and helpful tool. This is an essential for any quilter's library.

Inspired and ready to create

Art quilts were something I loved and appreciated but never thought I could do. After learning Jean's techniques and method of creating compositions and designs, I found I was inspired and ready to create my own. Her techniques and design lessons have even found their way into my more traditional pieces making them more exciting and unusual.
