Produktinformationen zu „Quilt Local “
Pattern by pattern, Jones takes readers behind the scenes of her own process, offering photographs of her sources of inspiration, sketchbook pages, and the finished quilts as well as a discussion of the design process. With an emphasis on color as an integral element of design, with each pair of quilts, Jones explains the basics of color theory and demonstrates how even subtle shifts can dramatically change the overall look of a finished piece. While many quilters will copy these quilts exactly or only vary them slightly, Jones's goal is to teach quilters how to see the inspiration that is inevitably before their eyes every day
Klappentext zu „Quilt Local “
For Heather Jones, inspiration can be anywhere. In her debut book, Quilt Local, she designed a collection of 20 quilts, each inspired by objects and places close to home-country roads, cityscapes, street signs-the landscape of her existence. Then, in a fascinating exercise in colour theory and design play, she reworked each one in a second palette to show how striking just a few basic changes can be. Pattern by pattern, Jones takes readers behind the scenes of her process, sharing photographs of her sources of inspiration, sketchbook pages, and the finished quilts. In addition, she offers an accessible lesson in colour theory as it applies to quiltmaking.
