Watercolor quilts are about my very favorite but I have never found very many pattern books. Do any of you have a favorite book/patterns for watercolors? I would love to see any examples of this technique as well -- it is very interesting to me

Just wanted to say thanks for posting this. I'm not sure what a watercolor quilt is, but I love water color artwork so I will be following your thread.

Interesting question. I'd have to google myself to be sure. But, I think it is like fabric painting for quilts.

Amazon has a few and you might check on Pinterest for some. I love these types of quilts myself; they remind me of Monet a little bit.

The 2 books I have turned to many times are: Quick Watercolor Quilts, and More Quick Watercolor Quilts by Dina Pappas ; published by - That Patchwork Place. I took a class about 10 years ago, using the first book, Dina makes this so easy, with great results. (And of course a great way to use those 2" squares and florals I don't know what to do with

This is the only place I know of that specializes in watercolor quilts. I bought a kit here years ago...it's still in the "to do" pile.

My favorite book is Colourwash Quilts by Deirdre Amsden, copyright 1994. I bought it shortly after it was published and still refer to it frequently.

Some other books are:

Watercolor Quilts, by Magaret and Slusser
Watercolor Impressions, by Magaret and Slusser
Impressionist Quilts, by Gai Perry
Watercolor Magic, by Deanna Spigola

Try searching on Google, using "watercolor quilts", and "watercolour quilts", and "watercolor quilt patterns". As you search, there are further search suggestions at the bottom of the page.

I like this source for patterns. I have purchased one and gave to a quilter friend. She loved it.

This is the concept I am talking about -- maybe the correct term isn't 'watercolor'?
This is the only one I have made -- it is really the only pattern I have found so far that I liked enough to do (but I do love it!) It was such a fun project -- am considering making it again in holiday colors, or fall colors, or more vibrant summer colors -

Can't help with sources for patterns as this is the first time I hear of water colour quilts. Wow, your wreath is stunning! Think I'm getting more ideas for my bucket list... (as if it wouldn't be already long enough!)
