Review: Another Great Book From The Master of Color - Love this book! Kaffe takes his beautiful fabrics and incorporates them into classic quilts from the past with his own special twist. In the beginning of the book he has the originals quilts from 1800's to the mid 1900's with a brief description. Then he takes each one and transforms it into his own version with colorful fabrics and a bit of his own style, but still keeping the integrity of the originals. Very colorful and vivid quilts that are displayed true to Kaffe's unique taste. Directions are easy to read and also gives you the information on what fabrics are used on each quilt pattern, along with templates in the back of the book. If you've ever bought a Kaffe Fassett book, you will not be disappointed! And if you are new to quilting while it might be a little intimidating at first learning some of the piecing, (which I struggled with as a first timer), you will become inspired by his fabrics, the colors and how much more alive your quilts can be. Review: Favorite topic - As a quilter, we all have favorites designers! To me this is an amazing teaching book! The colors of the fabrics is spectacular!! The designs are stunning!! The patterns are easily followed! Everything about this book is perfect!!👍
