Description

Throughout the day, Kaffe and his partner Brandon Mabley gently guided the students along, making suggestions on color choices as each row developed.

We would each be working on designing the Green Diamonds pattern from Kaffe’s Quilts in Ireland book. Kaffe started his artistic career as a painter, first in the US and then in the UK where he moved in 1964. While some of his color combinations and business of the quilt tops could be offensive to some, I think that one has to see the brilliance of his work.

Quilting is increasingly acquiring an even greater following and with this innovative collection Kaffe will attract many new converts. Since 1999, Glorious Color has specialized in the quilt fabric and books created by Kaffe Fassett and Liza Prior Lucy. I'm almost finished making my version of his "Frothy Table Cover" which is made of cotton in a combination of floral pastels cut into triangles.

This is a patchwork book that pushes colour boundaries and there are some really great ideas with colours together that you just wouldn't think would look right. Kaffe Fassett puts a new spin on some of the traditional quilt patterns and his creations are fresh and original.It was interesting to watch Kaffe’s single minded concentration as he focused on each person’s developing design, deciding if the fabric choices worked together and recommending options if he thought they did not. One of the world's renowned fabric and fiber artists presents an innovative selection of twenty original quilt designs, offering complete instructions on how to reproduce each quilt and tips on materials and quilting techniques.

It was interesting to see how at the end of the day a blue themed quilt was made by someone wearing a blue cardigan or a predominantly yellow quilt was put together by a student wearing a yellowish top. Listening to his talk it was clear that his eye and his mind were wired to see color and pattern in ways that most of us do not. In the mid 1980’s when I was deep into knitting, he came out with his landmark knitting design book.

I also love the challenge of taking beautiful photos that capture the essence of the location I am visiting.InGlorious Patchwork-one of his most spectacular and original books-Kaffe presents more than 25 designs that draw on the essence of his colorwork. This would forever be a tangible reminder of the day we spent with the design genius for whom “color was like breathing”. Besides this quilting class, I have also taken and written about a quilt class with Empty Spools as well as the Judy Niemeyer Quiltworx class that I took at her retreat house in Montana. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Not only is Kaffe exuberant in his tactile use of color he is also extremely passionate and erudite when he talks about color in his creative world. If you are new to patchwork and need a step-by-step guide, this book provides it more than generously. The point of this book is not complicated designs, it's what you can do with the simplest block and trinagle patterns.

For more than two decades, Kaffe Fassett's sumptuously textured, vibrantly colored designs have thrilled readers and inspired them to pile on color and break the rules. The colors should “tumble down” gently from top to bottom – your eye should not be drawn to a specific row yet there should be some excitement to the eye as well. It is imaginatively photographed in lovely, scenic places and would be a fun book to find on a guest-room bedside table. Used books have different signs of use and might not include supplemental materials such as CDs, Dvds, Access Codes, charts or any other extra material.
