Modern Rainbow Print-on-Demand Edition

The theme of this issue is colour, and seeing the cover of this book, you might understand why I would have to include it in my review. I would buy this book just for the quilt on the cover - I love the bright colours on it. I wouldn't be disappointed when I got the book home because there are several quilts included that I would be tempted to make as well. They all take their cue from the rainbow. Rebecca describes some basic colour theory if you need it to get you started. There are 14 modern quilt patterns included.

A great book that champions bold color choices, Modern Rainbow zings with style. The fourteen featured quilts re fantastic examples of strong color combinations and youre sure to find a project or two that you feel you have to create in its well-designed pates. Theres a growing and encouraging trend or quilters and authors to encourage enthusiasm over technical perfection, and Rebecca Bryan, whilst providing a wealth of helpful detail and advice, continues that trend. The quilts here are, on a technical level, very accomplished, but they roar with vibrant passion. There are traditionally inspired projects, modern and more freeform projects featured; all of them bristle with delicious color choices, quilts youll not only want to make but also use and show off. In playing with colour so effectively and subverting the cliches of the rainbow colour set, Rebecca has triumphed with her selections here. The Lucy in the Sky quilt, that plays with bright primary colors against black and white, is a particular favourite, and Moonstar actually looks like it might radiate animatedly like a neon sign, such is the sense of movement.
