M'Liss Rae Hawley is an excellent quilt artist and the content of this book is excellent -- it is a very good guide to color and design. However, the colors in the copy I received were so bad that one could hardley distinguish a dark red from a dark green. The colors in the whole book are dark, deary, and undifferentiated, hardly what you want in a book to inspire you to experiment with color and design. If this is what a POD book delivers, then books on quilting, color, design and anything artistic should NOT be ordered POD.

Beginners seeking a user-friendly quilter's guide will find the vivid colors and unusual designs of M'Liss Rae Hawley's Get Creative! to be inviting. M'Liss provides only 8 projects to serve as a foundation for gathering skills, but each easy project offers important lessons in color and design and offers enough flexibility for beginners to incorporate their own designs and interests. A lovely collection of formulas and stories.
– Midwest Book Review
This book is excellent. I would recommend starting at the beginning and reading through each project. It is set up as a a workbook and one chapter leads into the next. A color wheel is a must and really helps one select the fabric for each project. Not all sales persons in the fabric store have the knowledge that you will obtain from this book.

This book is great. I like the format and the clear instructions. Beautiful photos. The price was also great. I like saving money for more fabric.
