Kaffe Fassett's Quilts on an English Farm

Kaffe Fassett

Description

Kaffe Fassett draws inspiration from the bounty of nature on a Kent farm deep in the English countryside. With his unerring eye, he picks quirky settings for his quilts, finding beauty not only in the usual lush greenery and the produce, but also in the working environment of the farm, from its old farm machinery, where the rusted hub caps of a tractor pick up the exact colour of one of his new fabric colorways, to the stacks of weathered wood that provide the perfect setting for a pale pastel quilt.

The book presents yet another collection of quilts, and images, that both surprise and delight. As always, the quilts have full step-by-step instructions with supporting flat shots of each quilt and the necessary assembly diagrams, making it easy to copy his designs to the last detail. But as Kaffe makes clear in his introduction, his main aim is to whet the appetite of quilters so they, in turn, can create their own exciting and unusual combinations of pattern and colour.
