Kaffe Quilts Again: 20 Favorite Quilts in New Colorways from Rowan

This book contains reproductions of quilts designed by Kaffe Fassett, Liza Prior Lucy, Pauline Smith, Roberta Horton, Brandon Mably and Mary Mashuta in some of the previous books compiled by Fassett. From Kaffe Fassett's Country Garden Quilts, we have the S Block, Star Bouquet and Chintz designs; from Kaffe Fassett's Quilts in the Sun: 20 Designs from Rowan for Patchwork and Quilting there are two versions of the Frames quilt and a new version of the Chelsea quilt called Summer Chelsea. There are new versions of Blue Star, Big Bang and Pastel Gridlock hailing from Kaffe Fassetts Caravan of Quilts (Patchwork & Quilting Book 6)]; Chevrons, Romantic Rosy, African Huts, My Fair Lady and All Season Garden from [[ASIN:1904485405 Kaffe Fassett's Quilt Road: Patchwork and Quilting, Book Number 7 and Cutting Corners and Two Up and Two Down from Kaffe Fassett's Quilt Romance: 20 Designs from Rowan for Patchwork and Quilting (Patchwork and Quilting). A mix of fabrics by Fassett, Mably and Jacobs has been used and some of them are no longer generally available at big sites online, including the Glorious Color website that is run by Liza Prior Lucy. But for the most part substitutions can be made. Indeed, that is one of the things to learn from this book--how to use what is at hand rather than being locked into the need for a particular fabric. The quilt photographs were shot in rural Bulgaria. The book includes templates, cutting instructions and assembly diagrams as well as the dimensions of the finished quilts. For the most part, the patterns are for sewers at the beginning or intermediate level, with the exception of quilts like Big Bang, which is composed 100% out of diamonds (look out for all those bias edges and use lots of starch on the fabric to keep them from stretching). As in other Fassett books, the stars are the fabrics, which are gorgeous and lush; they make the relatively easy patchwork patterns shine. Highly recommended for all quilting levels.

Another great book with lots of ideas

Fabulous book to add to my collection! The quilts, instructions are first rate!! The color of these fabrics are spectacular!! The bright colors, the prints, flowers are amazing!! Love to follow great instructions! These are superb!! Arrived on time, extremely happy with amazon!! Great choice of books are easy to get from Amazon.

It's a wonderful book with beautiful designs and fabrics. But, it's from 2012 and many of the fabrics are out of print. So if you wanted to reproduce a quilt exactly... it would be difficult, but not impossible.

The book is a good one if you're a quilter & like contemporary fabrics. I added it to my library.

This book has many different patterns in it and are easy to follow. I love his colors and the feel of his cotton. So soft. They are so unique looking I always get comments. This particular books is wonderful because he brings back his old favorites so you are able to see the original quilts then the same pattern done again in another set of fabrics.Fabulous.

This book is very nice. Kaffe's books are loaded with beautiful pictures and quilts. I purchased it as a gift for a friend and included a charm pack of Kaffe Fassett fabrics that I also purchased on Amazon. She loved her gift and is making one of his quilts now.

Kaffe Fassette takes some of his older quilts and does them again. In fabulous new colors. Then presents them in a wonderful country setting. His artistry is enchanting, and he offers patterns for every quilt in the book. This is a ' no regrets' purchase on a market that is choked with quilting books.
