Another GORGEOUS patchwork book by Kaffe Fassett photographed against the Italianate architecture of Welsh village Port Meirion. I loved 'Pickle Dish' (the cover design); Brandon Mably's Schoolhouse quilt with unusual use of colour; 'Incredible Stripes' a simple but stunning use of plains and stripes; and 'Cutting Corners' with its wonky squares. And there's loads more, featuring Fassett's trademark gorgeous florals and patterns. Love it.

3.0 out of 5 starsOK - but not the best Fassett book19 Oct 2009

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!

5.0 out of 5 starsOne of Kaffe's Best9 Oct 2009

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.

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.
