Dedication

To the bestest husband ever, Morgan Arkison. For teaching me the true value of sleeping in and pushing me to be more than I am today.

Acknowledgments

Two people were instrumental in bringing this book into beingSusanne Woods and Amanda Jean Nyberg. Our work on Sunday Morning Quilts inspired me to write this book. From that collaboration to this individual work, I couldnt have done it without them.

Thank-you to all the folks at Stash Books and C&T for believing that a quilt book can be more than a collection of patterns and that words can inspire as much as pictures. Speaking of pictures, a giant Zombie Underpants Screech for Kate Inglis, the style photographer.

This book would never have come into being without the support, cooking, play dates, photo sessions, and encouragement of my dear friends in the community around me. Ive found my home, and it is because of them.

The patience of and cheerleading by my family are what got me through the sleepless new-baby nights. But next time I will listen to them when they suggest that I keep my plate clean for a little while. (But only in the short term.)

Finally, thank-you to all my readers and the quilters who continue to inspire me with their questions, interpretations, design, and help.

Introduction

Without a doubt I am a color person I need it around me filling me with - photo 2

Without a doubt, I am a color person. I need it around me, filling me with energy and smiles. I crave it when Im surrounded by too much white. Put me in a beige home, and I will sit by the one pillow or photograph that has color in it, just to feel its vibrancy.

When people come to our house for the first time, there is always a bit of exclamation at the colors on the walls, the floor, the furniture. Im sure there is a lot of wonder at how we can live with so much color. The answer is easywe dont know how not to.

It isnt just that Im a quilter either. I was the one who picked the brightest comforter when choosing bedding for my dorm room. I sought out rental apartments that allowed me to paint the walls. Basic black was never a concept my wardrobe understood. My obsession with color started long before my obsession with fabric.

Thankfully, I married a man who also relishes being surrounded by color. That, or he doesnt care that much and lets me take the lead. And my kids have obviously inherited this love of color. This means I can pile quilts in every room; paint my walls red, turquoise, or orange; or set the table with pink dishes without anyone complaining.

While I wouldnt change a single color in my life, there are times when even I need a little respite. Like a calm spot on a busy quilt, my eye and my soul need a place to rest in order to really appreciate everything.

Thats where low-volume fabrics come in.

The white or light base of low-volume fabrics, combined with a colorful or graphic punch, is enough to keep visual interest without resorting to in-your-face color. There is still color and still boldness, but it is more like a stage whisper than a yell, more like an intermittent breeze than a Chinook wind.

My enthusiasm for low-volume fabrics can be linked to two clear inspirations. Malka Dubrawsky, of A Stitch in Dye fame, introduced me to the concept a few years ago. Malka is well known for her bright, graphic, hand-dyed fabric and improvisational use of color in sewing and quilting. But one day she shared a project that was a direct departure from her usual bright palette. To quote Oprah, it was an A-Ha moment for me.
