Color Mastery Testimonials

"Absolutely own it."
—Quiltmaker magazine

"Maria holds your hand and builds your color confidence, page by page with her smart tips, clear explanations and easy exercises. Her teaching experience and style are obvious as I felt like I was taking an at-home class just with her. I appreciate having her book on hand as a resource when I need a reference for pulling fabrics together and want to expand my color horizons."
—Joan Hawley
Lazy Girl Designs, www.LazyGirlDesigns.com



"I’ve attended several lectures on the color wheel, but none of them made me start thinking about color the way that Maria Peagler’s Color Mastery did. All of a sudden I had fresh eyes, and looked at everything around me with greater understanding. This book is an instant classic."
—Kay Mackenzie
appliqué designer, www.quiltpuppy.com, Easy Appliqué Blocks: 50 Designs in 5 Sizes



"Maria is a gifted teacher who understands your fears and frustrations with quilt color combinations. She does a beautiful job of merging the normally dry process of learning color principles with intuitive exercises that let you relax and play. While Color Mastery doesn’t cover color mixing for painters, it’s really perfect for quilters who use fabrics to create their color imagery. It's packed full of useful charts, illustrations, tips, things to think about, color wheels and harmony patterns."
—Susan Shie

"Wonderful, thoroughly researched book that unravels the mystery of color with both exercises and projects. Maria’s playful attitude shines through - she’s made the projects and exercises so much fun! This book is a great resource for anyone trying to learn more about color."
—Carol Taylor
quilt artist and teacher, www.caroltaylorquilts.com

"Come along as Maria Peagler guides you through journaling techniques to find and develop your own color skills. You will fondle fabrics and bond with the color wheel in more ways than you thought possible as the elements of color jump off the pages of this book and into your creative life!"
—Marti Michell
quilter, author, teacher, Silver Star Honoree 2004

"A helpful addition to any quilter's library. Color Mastery provides a wealth of advice on making your fabrics' colors work for you. Maria's best advice: keep a color journal to record appealing color combinations, then use color theory to analyze why you like them. Her recommendation to audition potential fabric swatches is a lifesaver - better to sacrifice a few small pieces of fabric than to discover colors aren't working together after you've cut out all the pieces. I especially liked the explanations of which parts of standard color theory only work for paints where the colors are mixed together and which parts are important for designing with fabric."
—Martha Sielman
Masters: Art Quilts (Lark Books), Executive Director, Studio Art Quilt Associates, Inc., http://www.SAQA.com

"As a workshop instructor, I realize that making the right color choices is both a difficult task and a crucial one. Maria voices the struggles and decisions that plague all quiltmakers (whether traditional or contemporary) and shows how to develop color schemes that are not only pleasing, but also rich and satisfying. Maria takes the guesswork out of color choices."
—Elizabeth Barton
art quilter, www.elizabethbarton.com

"Are you no good at color?” Spend time with your stash and Color Mastery and become a master! By training your eyes, Maria’s ten principles make working with color intuitive—and fun. Change your attitude about color from fear to play!"
—Jodie Davis
President, QNNtv, www.QNNtv.com

"Peagler’s writing voice is friendly and humorous, but she remains focused and professional throughout this guide, resulting in a book that is both highly informative and interesting to read. Her passion for color is contagious, and the exercises are meaningful and fun to do!"
—ForeWord magazine
www.foreword.com

"Although the subject is not new, Peagler's writing style makes it so nonthreatening and easy to understand that it actually seems new."
—Coast Weekend
coastweekend.com

"Beautifully illustrated with full color photographs and diagrams . . . a no-nonsense guide to developing one's own quilting patterns using the principles of aesthetically pleasing color combinations to maximum effect. From developing one's color vision in a journal to making any two colors work together to creating a more versatile stash and more, Color Mastery spells out the basics as well as advanced tips, tricks, and techniques. . . a top-notch addition to any quilter's reference library. "
—Midwest Book Review

". . . an essential guide for a revolutionary new way of approaching color in your quilts."
