Cascade of Quilts by Barb Sackel is a book of stunning quilts along with the complete instructions and color variations.  All the quilts are based on the Shade Cascade fabric line designed by Karen Combs for Blank Quilting.  The Shade Cascade line features four shades of the same color family across the width of the fabric.  The sample to the right is Sapphire.  Note how the colors progress from light to dark as you move from left to right.

Cascade of Quilts takes advantage of having four values the same color in one piece of fabric.  Using combinations of the 22 colors available from Blank Quilting, you can create a monochromatic masterpiece.  The book contains instructions for all of the following (see pictures of all below):

• a baby quilt with pillows tucked in for playtime; see the Tuck and Toss Baby Play Quilt below.
  
• three pieces of wall art; Potluck Patchwork shown below plus 2 others.
  
• three quilts; Cascade Chain is shown on the book's cover, Through The Looking Glass show below, plus 1 other.
  

Follow the colors as presented in the book, or pick colors that suit your own personality.  Barb gives a humorous lesson in color theory to insure the colors you pick balance.  This book would be a great addition to any quilter's library.  It's suitable for beginners.

Be sure to check out the companion book, Cascade of Quilting Essentials.  Based on the same fabric line, it contains patterns for making quilting accessories any quilter could use!
