Would you like to win a copy of the new Fat Quarterly Book, Quilt Colour Workshop? In this book we talk all about colour theory and how you can use it in your quilting projects. We look at blocks in different colour schemes as well as plenty medium and large projects, each one made to show an example of different colours used in different colour schemes.
And of course the most important bit of the book should be mentioned here too.
So if you'd like to win a copy of this book, just leave a comment and a winner will be drawn a week from today!
This quilt is an example of a red monotone scheme and is my variation on a Storm at Sea quilt.
This is John's blue complementary quilt which is my favourite project in the book.
This one is Brioni's purple triadic quilt - classic Brioni style!
This is an orange double complementary quilt made by Tacha with lots of lovely snippets of text prints dotted about the place.
I'm the first to comment? Wow, that never happens. I'd love to win a copy. If I don't win, I'll buy one anyway. I never took art classes so I need all the help I can get. Thank you for the opportunity, in other words "pick me, pick me" please.

We have a lot of fun learning to quilt as we go shopping for fabric & cutting side by side. I buy 2 of every tool or ruler just about so one of us isn't waiting for the other to finish. One day I'll give her the machine she's been using and all the doubles that I've bought.
