Kaffe Fassett's Quilts in an English Village

Mehr zum Buch

Kaffe has expertly chosen the medieval English village of Lavenham in Suffolk as the backdrop for his stunning new quilt collection, showcasing both his vibrant new fabric designs and beloved classics. The 19 quilts are beautifully displayed against the village's historic half-timbered Tudor houses in an eye-catching gallery. This collection features unique designs by Kaffe and his long-time collaborator, Liza Prior Lucy. Notably, Kaffe's Starry Night, highlighted on the cover, utilizes his brilliant floral fabrics in deep colors, framed by surrounding stars in Shot Cottons. Shards reinterprets the traditional Broken Dishes design with soft pastel blends, perfectly complementing the pale plaster and weathered timbers of Lavenham. In contrast, Blooming Columns employs bold black and white stripes as a dramatic backdrop for large fussy-cut flowers. This 23rd installment in the series offers quilts for all skill levels, including Shaded Squares, ideal for beginners, featuring cleverly shaded squares made from plain and striped triangles in Kaffe's Shot Cotton and Wide Stripe fabrics. The book includes practical tips, a know-how section, a glossary, and fully illustrated, step-by-step instructions for each quilt.
