Colleen shares her techniques--from familiar piecing, applique, fusing, and quilting, to some that might be new: discharge, paint, and oil sticks.

I was most intrigued with the variety of painting techniques. Having admired her work in shows, I enjoyed learning how she accomplished the level of dimension.

Give your quilts extra dimension and make them jump off the wall with Colleen Wise's techniques.

Review By: Sharon Darling,   QuiltersReview.com - March 1, 2007
"Colleen Wise takes 3D quilt effects beyond the Attic Windows block by explaining how to give your work a dimensional appearance. She explains shape, color, and value of shadows and how these relate to making a quilt look more realistic. I found this discussion very informative.

If you aren't really interested in theory, you will still love this book because of all the techniques Colleen introduces and explains. She tells how to interpret each shadow in your pieced and appliqué work but she does much more. She gives projects and examples of discharged shadows, painted shadows and other techniques that give the appearance of shadows like quilting, stamping, couching.

I learned a lot from this book that will help me get the look I'm trying to create in my work. I hope she writes a book about reflections next."
