Making one of the Impressionist Landscapes is an artistic adventure, and the sewing is easy. This is as close as you can get to being a painter without actually knowing how to paint! But be forewarned: "Gardening with fabric" can become addictive although I can't think of a more delightful or relaxing habit.
—Gai Perry
Impressionist Palette, the follow-up to Gai Perry's highly successful Impressionist Quilts, expands your horizons for interpreting nature's landscapes into pictorial quilts with an Impressionist flair. Gai's original technique—which places squares on point—softens fabric edges and gently blends color, furthering the illusion of viewing a real painting.
Learn how to select the right additions to your fabric palette and embellish your Impressionist Landscape quilt with patch appliqué and highlight painting. Find your personal palette using Gai's color enrichment concept. Instructions for six new projects are included as well as beautiful photographs showcasing the latest work of Gai and her students.

Back Cover Information"You are about to start a beautiful quiltmaking experience. Get ready for the time of your life!" Gai has created an original style of contemporary quilt design inspired by her love of nature. Her blending of colors combined with the use of printed fabrics creates an impressionistic effect in these imaginative, expressive quilts. Gai's technique for Impressionist Landscape quilts goes beyond other methods of "painting" with fabric—individual flowers are cut for each square then placed on point. Placing the squares on point helps to create the illusion of a real painting. The squares are positioned to enhance the interaction of color and blending of the lines. Included in the book are four step-by-step quilt projects and a gallery of 28 Impressionist Landscape quilts. Table of Contents:
