Kaffe Fassett Quilts Shots & Stripes

In Kaffe Fassett Quilts: Shots + Stripes, Fassett presents 24 quilt projects made with his solid coloured cotton fabrics (called shot cottons) and striped cotton fabrics. The lavish florals with which Fassett is often identified are absent from this collection, replaced by simpler but equally visually stunning colour statements Inspired by worldwide travels and a plethora of ethnic textiles, including the quilts of the Amish and from Gee's Bend in America, Japanese all indigo quilts, suzanis from the Caucuses, and Pakistani kanthas, the projects featured in this book include full sized bed and wall quilts as well as well as smaller pieces that can be completed more quickly, such as throws, table runners and pillows. With Shots + Stripes, Fassett is answering the modern quilt community’s call for quilts that make bold graphic statements that are less time consuming and complex than some of the work for which he has been previously celebrated. While still serving his core audience of long time devotees and celebrating his and their passions for vibrant colour, Fassett is introducing himself to a new generation of quilters with the types of projects they're currently seeking.
