Embrace colour!
Quilts in Sweden is another inspirational book from the master colourist and designer Kaffe Fassett. It is always good to know that any one of us could make one of these gorgeous objects as the whole process is clearly explained. Kaffe uses a range of fabrics from Rowan which are obtainable from their website although you can use these designs as a template and choose your own or use up pieces you have put by in the true tradition of patchwork. I joined a patchwork and quilting class to get started and now belong to a social group which is fun and greatly encouraging.
The great skill of KF is that he has somehow captured the essence of a fine craft tradition, designing fabric patterns which are perfect for cutting into fragments and finding the most fascinating ways in which to recombine them. There is room in every home for one of these creations.
