Kaffe Fassett S Heritage Quilts

"20 colourful quilts created by the designers Kaffe Fassett, Liza Prior Lucy, Pauline Smith, Brandon Mably, Judy Baldwin and Corienne Kramer using the popular Kaffe Fassett fabrics. The quilts are inspired by antique quilts from the 19th and 20th century which are reinterpreted in this book."--Amazon.com

An exciting opportunity to collaborate with the British Quilt Museum inspired this latest volume in Kaffe's successful patchwork and quilting series. Kaffe has chosen a special collection of traditional quilts and redesigned them in his latest fabrics for an exhibition at the Quilters Guild Museum at York in the UK in spring/summer 2015 (the exhibition will later travel to the USA at locations/dates to be announced). The quilts Kaffe has chosen are beautiful in their own right but his new take on them is also exquisite, each in a different way. Seeing his designer's eye at work picking out the elements to revisit is an education in itself. The results are stunning, both vibrant and graphic. The fabrics in his current collection are designed by himself, Philip Jacobs and Brandon Mably. As always, Kaffe and Philip opt for eye-catching, colorful designs in bright fabrics. Combined with Brandon's simpler, graphic patterns these offer the ideal range for quilt makers, with heritage patterns such as Hearts and Crosses, Log Cabin, and Church Window reinvented in wonderful, contemporary colors. There are also reinventions of older, rarer quilt patterns--all chosen for their amazing design and beauty. In addition to a wonderful photographic gallery of the quilts themselves, the book contains full step by step piecing instructions, with detailed diagrams. It also contains a general patchwork how-to section for anyone who is new to quilt making or needs to refresh their techniques.
