"I have to admit here that I am not one for neutral colours, but the quilts in Alex's new book are subtle and truly exquisite. Seven projects show you how to blend light and dark neutrals in a variety of prints and are ideal for using up scraps. If, like me, you are unwilling to give up colour completely, there is room for small accents of colour in these quilts. There are step-by-step instructions and diagrams, full-size templates and some of the patterns are suitable for beginners, some for the more advanced."

"This book has wonderful patterns and knowledge of how to put the neutrals together. I had never thought of light - medium- and dark all in the different shades of predominately the same colors. I can't wait to make and share them."
Review Quilters Newsletter - January 1, 2009
“Creams, tans, beiges, and taupes are all you need to design a quilt that never goes out of style. Alex begins by defining what a neutral is, and then explains in depth her three keys to success: color, value, and character of print. Discussion of building a neutral fabric collection and choosing and implementing a design follows. Instructions for seven subtle yet elegant projects geared toward the confident beginner are also included.”
