Gorgeous designs against the perfect backdrops.

[Jocelynne Broderick]

Not going to give stars cuz I didn't read anything but the photo blurbs, so I'm not sure how the instructions are. I liked the quilts as finished projects, like fabric eye-candy, but the patterns and instructions for each quilt were so repetitive, and I get bored easily if the things aren't varied much. Like I said, pretty to look at, but I wouldn't make any of them.

Nice quilts, primarily because of original use of colors omitting all use of whites. Colored fabrics sit next to each other, and big stripes make up blocks and borders. The wonderful use of colors is breathtaking.

His use of color and pattern is unsurpassed. Clipped two patterns for possible use with NZ fabrics (in some future life where I am actually quilting again).

Welp, this was the last-chance book. And it also sucked. No more Kaffe Fassett for me.

More colorful beauty from Kaffe and other Rowan artists.
