The pictures of his quilts are stunning. Stunning. Personally, this doesn't help me much as a follow-the-pattern type book, simply because without his fabrics, what I made could never look the same. Which is fine, it's why we all make quilts, but I enjoy looking at his, and that's prety much enough for me. Didn't look at the directions too closely, but they looked a bit confusing.

Kaffe Fassett and Lucy Prior have collaborated on a new hardcover about color, fabric, and quilts. This team just keeps getting better and better. This book has brilliant new designs plucked from photos of art, architecture, nature and unique reimaginings of cloth piecing. This man and his team bowl me over routinely, but he's really taken my breath away--again. Amazingly productive, Fassett is one gifted man.
True, I mostly read this one for the pictures, but I'm in active idea-gathering mode right now. I saw a couple of ideas with diamonds that I really like. I wish I could tell the person writing the copy to tone down the flowery language, though; from time to time, I felt the urge to have dramatic readings of the text.
Fassett's designs and combinations are inspiring. I have used this book as a jump off for a few projects and I'm pleased with the results. It's nice not having to reinvent the wheel a thousand times.
great as a side table book. I love picking it up and going through it while whatching tv. Amazing designs inspired be simple shapes seen all around us. Especially love the colors and textures of his fabrics!
Great Photography of both non quilty and quilty items. Makes a person open their eyes and see what is around them.
Loved all the stripe quilts and am dreaming of making one or two.

Love this book. I need to add it to my library.
And this book was not for me. I'm too traditionalist for this. Nice pictures though!!
Definitely one I should own.
