About the book
Feeling stressed? Why not relax with an adult coloring book? Rachel J. Good’s Amish Quilts Coloring Book takes you back to a time and place that’s calm. Immerse yourself in a world of peace as you color the 25 different quilts.
Inspired by quilts seen in Amish country, many of these designs are based on traditional patterns, but some have been reimagined or repeated multiple times to create more intricate designs to color. Each quilt is printed on only one side of the page; facing pages contain inspirational Amish proverbs. To make the quilts even more colorful and interesting, sketch fabric designs – plaids, checks, paisleys, flowers, or abstract shapes – into the larger quilt blocks, use pattern stamps, or even collage fabric scraps to the pages. And if the designs inspire you to make quilts of your own, the pages can be used as templates for quilt-making.
I have not colored since I was a little child. There has been so much talk about adult coloring books. When i heard about this book, I knew I had to try it out. The designs are very intricate and beautiful. I was given two pages from the book to color. At first I wasn't sure I could do this. Once I started coloring, my creativity started taking over. I became lost in the task and had such fun creating my own little quilt. I love how there is an Amish proverb at the top of each page. As you color, you are inspired by the beautiful words of wisdom. When I had completed my pages, I was very relaxed and quite surprised at how nice they turned out. I imagined what a nice quilt they would make. If you are looking for something to relax you and see some amazing quilt patterns, I highly recommend this book.
I received two pages from Celebrate Lit Book Tour for an honest review.
