Product Description

Taking a journey back in time, Kaffe Fassett presents 20 glorious new quilts that feature all the romance of a time gone by. The eleventh in the series of best-selling quilt-pattern collections, Kaffe Fassett's Quilt Romance is a study in pastels and tradition set against the dramatic Italianate architecture of a tiny Welsh village. Based on Fassett's signature line of Rowan fabrics, the pieces have been designed by some of the world's finest quilters, including Liza Prior-Lucy, Pauline Smith, Robert Horton, and introducing Kim McClean, an Australian quilt designer and teacher. The stunning photos by Debbie Patterson are just the start: complete instructions for creating each museum-quality quilt are included along with tips and techniques that Fassett has gathered in his more than 30 years of experience. Every quilter will treasure this next book in the series from an international favorite.

One of Kaffe's Best5
I'm a HUGE KF fan and have most of his books. This is one of his best as he has introduced new artists who have used his fabrics in creative ways. Kim McLean's work is outstanding and she's sure to become better known as a result of this book. The other designs showcasing his fabrics are, as always, inspirational. Even non-quilters who appreciate the use of color and design will find the photos delicious eye-candy.

OK - but not the best Fassett book3
I have a least 6 or 7 of the books in the Kaffe Fassett series, but this one is a notch off the better ones. The quilts are easy, and the fabrics, as always, are stunning. However, the quilt patterns are beginning to look a bit like ones in previous books. They show off the big patterns in the fabric, but they don't seem unique. If you are only going to get one or two books from this series - check out Quilt Road (my favorite) or Quilts in the Sun. You can use the patterns in those with the newer fabrics he has out now. Even if the quilt patterns are getting stale - the fabrics are as gorgeous as ever!

Love it!5
I've quilted in "safe" colors for many years. To expand my color sense I'm buying books like Kaffe Fassett's and WOW! does he ever expand your color sense. All those "wild" colors and patterns come together in his quilts. I was amazed at the emotion some of his quilts invoke. QUILT ROMANCE is absolutely great and inspiring. A great way to get out of your quilting rut.
