Design Then Quilt: A Dynamic Guide to Creating Stunning Modern Quilts by Irene Roderick

Description

Design Then Quilt demystifies quilt design principles and teaches readers how to apply them. This colorful book clarifies graphic design concepts as they relate to quilts, allowing modern quilters — and any quilters — to learn the definition of "design" and how to use it when creating a quilt.

Instantly putting quilters at ease, the vivid pages richly illustrate each concept using photos of fabric pieces, threads, and quilts. Award-winning quilt artist Irene Roderick draws on decades of workshop teaching to show that an accurate, academic approach to design is essential — even for the entirely intuitive modern creations she's so well known for.

Learn the elements of design such as line, shape, form, and color, then move on to the principles of design such as balance, variety, movement, and repetition. For each concept, Irene shows it using quilts — her own and those of her workshop students. Plenty of practice is included, and actual quilt pieces are arranged and rearranged in varied ways to bring each concept to life.
