SUMMARY- You get the color wheel lesson, which should be on every quilter's list of things to master, but I got lost in the eye candy section - which happens to be the entire book. There is so much great photography of worthy subjects, art quilts that will gob smack you with ideas - but the best chapter of all is Chapter Nine. Grab a copy of this book and see for yourself.
