Description

Kaffe Fassett’s Quilts in America: Designs Inspired by Vintage Quilts from the American Museum in Britain

All of the quilts featured in this book, Quilts in America come complete with instructions, and templates to make, as required.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of his highly successful series of patchwork and quilting books, Kaffe Fassett has returned to his American roots. Using the collection of American vintage quilts in Britain’s American Museum in Bath as his inspiration, Kaffe has chosen 18 different quilts as the basis for his 20 new designs in this book.

• Designs feature both his latest fabrics and his much-loved classics, mostly from the Kaffe Fassett Collective but also his latest collection of Artisan fabrics.
• An introductory section, this book features the original quilts that inspired Kaffe, and tells the reader something about their provenance.
• The new designs demonstrate Kaffe’s vivid and unique color combinations, giving new meaning to familiar block patterns such as Tumbling Blocks, Starbursts, and Log Cabins.
• Photographed in bucolic Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
• Each pattern contains full step-by-step piecing instructions and detailed diagrams.

The Kaffe Fassett Collective features fabric designs from Kaffe Fassett, Brandon Mably and Philip Jacobs. The collective launches a vibrant new range in Spring and Fall each year and from these Kaffe handpicks particular fabrics for his exciting quilt designs, which are featured in his Patchwork & Quilting books, Kaffe Fassett’s Quilts in America being his very latest one.
