Beyond Neutral Book Tour Stop + Giveaway!

When John Adams, aka Quilt Dad, asked me to be a part of his blog book tour for his new book, Beyond Neutral, I didn't hesitate for a moment. I instantly knew I absolutely wanted to be a part of it as soon as I saw the cover of the book. I know you should never "judge a book by it's cover," but I can't fight love at first sight when it comes to quilts. It's just not possible for me.

Initially, I had misread the title of the book and for a hot minute I thought it was titled, "Beyond Nature," and a few of the images inside kept me thinking that was the title until I took a second, longer look at the cover. And it's definitely titled Beyond Neutral.

The quilts are so beautifully presented in a coordinating natural environment, it's hard not to love all of them.

This book is full of stunning quilts that look incredibly dynamic, if not challenging, but John's instructions on how to use standard piecing methods, good design elements and out of the box fabric placement make all of these quilts far more approachable to the average quilter than you might think they are when you first look at them.
He even makes room to show you how the quilting can really set a design apart and be the star, not just the pattern design or the fabric choices.

I am still totally head over heals for book cover quilt, Pacific Crest. It's my favorite quilt in the entire book, and there are some great winners in here.

And then I spotted the Triton Cove quilt and I found my favorite fabric combination that John put together.

Of course, out came my Tula Pink Neptune scraps.

I bugged John to find out what the greenish shot cotton was that he used in the Triton Cove quilt. It's Kaffe Fassett's Woven in Spruce. John is a master at mixing designers and fabric collections. I tend to stick with making my quilts from one fabric collection, but John really challenged my standard process here and it was a nice break from the norm for me.

I pressed my Neptune scraps to see what I had on hand to work with.

The sewing was quick. In no time I had a pile of HSTs (aka Half-Square Triangles) ready to go onto my design wall.

And up on my design wall they went.



This quilt design and fabric combination has the amazing ability to flow around the room when you look at it from different angles.


I was also super-flattered by John's shout out to me in the acknowledgements of his book. It's no small honor to find your name in print like that. It truly means the world to me, John.


And John really challenges you to reconsider quilt background fabrics other than whites, cremes and other neutrals. He demonstrates an incredible skill for fabric placement throughout the book. It's fun to simply page through it and daydream about your next quilt project.

They all are great, but I agree with you about the "flow" of Pacific Crest. It's a great quilt & design!

amy said...

Cayucos really speaks to me! Such lovely use of color-but they are all gorgeous!

MIss Sherry said...

Pacific Crest..... seems the best!

Bennett and Graves said...

Pacific Crest is my favorite too. It's like an advanced version of John's Lap Of Luxe, which is a design I made as a gift for a friend.

Bailey said...

Pacific crest is my favorite. And you are right, he does a great job of using colors as his background and neutrals.

I really like the Glimmerglass quilt and the cover quilt.

Sandy A

Michelle @ From Bolt to Beauty said...

I'm with you: Pacific Crest is my favorite!

Pacific Crest is my fave, but I like the movement in Glimmerglass a lot. That's the mark of a good book, when you can't pick just one quilt to make!

Cinder Gal said...

I am intrigued by Cayucos. The straight blocks and then the dip down is wonderful.

SylGrant said...

The Cayucos quilt enspires me, that is the name of a beach town near my home! The book looks amazing! schorer.k@gmail.com

Debbie said...

Cayucos quilt is my favorite. Thanks!

Suze said...

Julie, I agree that's difficult not to love all the quilts. I had trouble settling on a favorite quilt. After much consternation, I finally came to the conclusion that at this moment, Cayucos quilt is my favorite. Of course, if you asked me at another time, I might have a different answer. Thank you for participating in this book hop and sharing your marvelous quilt. Thanks for sharing the giveaway, too.

magistra said...

Looks like a great book. I would really enjoy trying to do the Pacific Crest Quilt in a different color way to see how it would look. And I couldn't agree more about expanding our background color schemes into more than white, beige, and gray!

Thanks!
Beth

fabricstasher24@gmail.com said...

I love the glimmer glass quilt. Have put it on my 'to do' list! Thank you for the giveaway.

magistra said...

May I ask, does my comment give you my email address? This is the only way I have figured out to comment to a blog. I've tried looking it up to see if it gives you my email, but I don't know for sure. Your comment about being able to reach us worries me. I really hope you'll help me out and forgive my ignorance. Are you able to respond to me through email?

Oh dear, I just realized by asking this, i am invalidating my entry into the drawing which is a shame because this book looks great, but honestly I need some inkling here if I am doing this right.

Your help will be so appreciated!
Beth

Love the Fabrics you put together for the cover quilt!

Gina S said...

Triton Cove

Unknown said...

Being a hiker and originally from the Pacific Northwest the name Pacific Crest caught my attention. And it's a great quilt for the left overs I've been collecting.

Quilting Tangent said...

The Pinnacles quilt is my favorite.
24Tangent@gmail.com

Jenn @ A Quarter Inch from the Edge said...

As much as it seems like I'm jumping on the bandwagon here, that cover quilt is awesome. Then again, once I have the actual book in my hands and fawn over it for a while, I could change my mind! :) Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Rebecca said...

Would love to make the Cayucos quilt!

Sherry P. said...

Although it's hard to choose, I'm really drawn to the Pinnacles quilt - love the bright colors against the gray background! That would be the one I'd make first ��

karenf said...

Okay if I have to name just one, I'll choose Pacific Crest. But your post and photos of the quilts in the book gave me some other ideas too: Cayucos looks intersting; ;ove the use of pink as a background color; and I've bee dying to use some of the shot cottons with prints but needed to see how it would look.

Anita said...

I would sew Pacific Coast first. Looks like a great book.

Adrienne said...

Pacific Crest is the quilt that speaks to me. Thanks for the chance to win!

Unknown said...

The Glimmerglass quilt has such pretty colors - makes a person think of sunrise over the ocean, and bright balls floating on the water like Japanese fishing floats.

Nancy M said...

Glimmerglsstook my breath away although it was hard to choose. Well done

I like Cayucos, but it may be because of the colors used in the sample quilt. And I also like the movement of Glimmerglass. So it would be a toss-up between those two.

I like the Triton quilt. It looks like it would be fun to make as well.

I was taken when I saw this book at Schoolhouse. I've always loved colored backgrounds and not realized what I was missing in quilts when we've gone to so much white and neutral. Love the designs and everything. Thanks.

Karen said...

I love how John looks at the world around him for inspiration! I immediately fell in love with Pacific Crest when I saw the book in a quilt shop, but when I opened it--I fell in love with almost every quilt. And I could imagine making one of the quilts in the colors of the Maine coast where I live!
