Twenty Designs from Rowan for Patchwork and Quilting

This, the 13th in the series of Kaffe Fassetts highly successful patchwork and quilting books from Rowan, is photographed by Debbie Patterson at the Skansen Museum in Stockholm, the oldest open-air museum in the world, where different styles of old Swedish houses built of richly painted wood make a great backdrop for this collection of 20 new quilts by Kaffe and his chosen designers. Kaffes quilt designs make the most of the new fabric in the collection. He designs fabric often knowing how he would like to use it and how it will look cut up. He uses Serape, an exciting new striped fabric to great effect combined with shot cottons, creating simple graphic quilts where the colours sing out. Other quilts of Kaffes resonate with saturated colour in deep earthy tones. In the Designer Profile, Kaffe explains how he creates his quilts, a fascinating insight into a genius at work.

Kaffe Fassett. "I took this design from a vintage quilt done in hexagons. Thinking of the colours of the warm Roussillon walls I decided on a rich golden palette. I used many small scale dots and stripes and the results really pleases me."

Ruth Eglington. "Hexagon quilts are fascinating and the idea of machine piecing one prompted Ruth to design this pretty quilt using Kaffe and Philip's brighter pastel fabrics. The Shot Cotton blend so well with the prints and by choosing colour elements that occur in several of the prints it ties the whole palette together. This would be and easy quilt to re-colour perhaps in rich reds or autumn colours. Ruth uses the foundation method as the bias edges of the triangles and hexagons make piecing tricky!"

Kaffe Fassett. "This is my favourite layout in this book and hence its place on the cover. When I spotted a vintage silk quilt on EBay I had to have it. It felt as fresh and modern as a Picasso painting, yet done in the 1800's. The simple layout of the diagonal stripe excites me most and how it comes together to create all these various moods. I'm knitting a version as a bed cover and it's just as exciting as creating the quilt."

In Kaffe Fassett's Simple Shapes Spectacular Quilts", world-renowned quilter Kaffe Fassett demonstrates how basic geometric forms - squares, rectangles, triangles, diamonds, circles and quarter circles - found in natural and manmade environments inspire his quilt designs. This is evident in the 23 magnificent, inventive quilts showcased in this book and step-by-step instructions are provided for each one.

Along the way, Fassett also offers over a hundred photos of geometric inspiration from around the world - everything from triangular watermelon slices, to rectangular sheets of corrugated metal on African scrap dwellings, to lollipop-shaped topiary trees in Japan. In the accompanying text, Fassett reveals how he experiences the colours and basic shapes around him, how we can train our own eyes to see this rewarding source of creativity and how we can, just as he does, combine striking fabrics with simple shapes to create our own spectacular quilt designs.
