The first book on our reading list is coincidentally our June Book of the Month,
Beyond Neutral by John Q. Adams aka
Quilt Dad! (Btw! this book is 20% OFF until the end of June). John encourages us to be bold in our fabric choices and color selection and to look "beyond neutrals." In this book, he created sixteen original quilts that do not use creams or whites as the neutral background color, but instead the colors of nature as his neutral palette. The quilts are cleverly divided into five elements of nature, Wind and Sky; Earth; Water; Leaves and Grass; and Lava, Coral, and Stone. Here are some of our favorites from each element.
Watch Quilt Dad as he talks about Beyond Neutral during our trip to the 2014 Spring International Quilt Market!
