For this landmark 25th book in his highly successful patchwork and quilt series, Kaffe Fassett has chosen the southern coast of England as the inspiration for his new collection of quilts. The 21 new designs are all brilliantly photographed on location by Debbie Patterson, and there’s a flat shot of each quilt plus block or quilt assembly diagrams, plus detailed step-by-step instructions.
Quilts by the Sea
For this, his landmark 25th book, Kaffe Fassett has chosen the southern coast of England as the inspiration for his new collection of quilts. Beachgoers have long enjoyed the rocky shores near Hastings in East Sussex for their wild beauty and classic architecture: once a popular Victorian resort area, this gem of the southern coast is now experiencing a travel renaissance thanks to a thriving arts movement.
In Kaffe Fassett’s Quilt by the Sea, there are 21 new designs. The deep jewel tones of Maroon Frames are enhanced by the geometric lines beach huts; the old-world quality of Vintage Stars, featuring earthy tones, is brilliantly set against the backdrop of a brick garden wall; while the stunning Colour Garden quilt, featured on the cover, feels perfectly at home draped over an old fishing boat overlooking on the beach.
And there are smaller projects, too: the fun Fruit Sorbet cushion showcases colourful pastels sure to inspire a cozy afternoon by the beach. With both Kaffe’s classic fabrics and his forward-thinking new designs to choose from, quilters can find an eclectic mix of patterns and colours ranging from the eye-catching large-scale floral prints of Philip Jacobs to Brandon Mably’s smaller-scale quirky patterns.
In addition to the quilt designs, Quilts by the Sea includes detailed step-by-step instructions, accompanied by a flat shot of each quilt with the relevant block or quilt assembly diagram and detailed step-by-step instructions, while a how-to section offers more detailed guidance.
