SUMMARY- In 1988, my mom plunked down a stack of books in front of Ms. Beyer, and Ms. Beyer signed each one personally to my mother, with a little note. Clearly my mom loved this designer and her books, and just as clearly, the designer loved her fans. There is a LOT of interesting stuff packed into this book. It isn't a quilt block book, but an interesting approach to fabric selection when designing your color schemes for a quilt - I'd say it should be on every quilter's shelf. The Table of Contents took up two full pages and would have taken forever to enter, so I've given you the highlights of each chapter. If you need more specific information, contact me. I'll sigh, pull the book, and fill in the chapter subcategories.
