Klappentext

Renowned designer Kaffe Fassett shares his latest explorations in color and composition with a fresh new collection of 20 quilts inspired by paintings and fine art, along with complete instructions for making each project

Have fun exploring color and learning about composition in quilting with this workshop-in a-book from world renowned expert Kaffe Fassett.

Pattern instructions, flat-shot photographs, and sewing diagrams are presented with each project, enabling readers to replicate the quilt shown or make their own version by adapting the pattern. The quilts range in difficulty so that beginner as well as experienced quilt-makers will be satisfied by the patterns that are offered.

As Kaffe Fassett says in the introduction: "For years I've taught workshops on color by having the participants observe the colors in a painting and transfer them to a printout of one of my textile designs. A good painting always needs us to give it more time than we spend on our usual observations of the world. It's like listening to music or a good play, heightened attention rewards us with a more emotional experience. I believe that this book can help quilters access that level of reward."
