Summaries and Customer Reviews provided by Amazon
SummaryTaking a journey back in time, Kaffe Fassett presents 20 glorious new quilts that feature all the romance of a time gone by. The eleventh in the series of best-selling quilt-pattern collections, Kaffe Fassett's Quilt Romance is a study in pastels and tradition set against the dramatic Italianate architecture of a tiny Welsh village. Based on Fassett's signature line of Rowan fabrics, the pieces have been designed by some of the world's finest quilters, including Liza Prior-Lucy, Pauline Smith, Robert Horton, and introducing Kim McClean, an Australian quilt designer and teacher. The stunning photos by Debbie Patterson are just the start: complete instructions for creating each museum-quality quilt are included along with tips and techniques that Fassett has gathered in his more than 30 years of experience. Every quilter will treasure this next book in the series from an international favorite. |

Offers 'quilter friendly' step-by-step instructions for each quilting project
Rating:
Drawing upon his years of experience in which his work has been acclaimed by American fashion designers and commissioned by the British Monarch, his newest needlecraft publication, "Kaffe Fassett's Quilt Romance: 20 Designs from Rowan for Patchwork and Quilting" continues to document him as one of the premier authorities on quilting today. The theme is presenting twenty new quilts that give homage to past quilting traditions with beautifully designed quilts showcased in display against colorful backgrounds of an Italian-style architecture found within a small Welsh village. Enhanced throughout with the beautiful full-color photography of Debbie Patterson, "Kaffe Fassett's Quilt Romance" offers 'quilter friendly' step-by-step instructions for each quilting project, and is therefore an elegant and enthusiastically recommended addition to personal and community library Needlecraft instructional reference collections.
Fabulous
Rating:
What more can I say about this book...it is "Fabulous".....beautifully photographed quilts...the designs are simple but dramatic with the vivid use of the colored fabrics. Even if you did not sew a single quilt from this book, leaving it on the coffee table is inspiring enough. Kaffe Fassett's use of traditional patterns with his "romantic" fabrics makes me want to make every quilt in this book.
Beautiful photography
Rating:
Portmeirion North Wales is both the setting and inspiration for quilts in this new book, and the photography is stunning. The opening pages feature Kaffe's new fabrics close up, followed by the quilts shown against the colorful buildings and gardens which inspired them. There is a tempting assortment of 20 projects, most of them pieced, but this book also features a background story about Kim McLean, the Australian quilter who designs applique and uses Fassett's fabrics to advantage. I especially appreciate the careful instructions in the second half of the book, beautifully illustrated to show how to reproduce the quilts with the same fabrics shown.
Kaffe's new book
Rating:
Another beautiful selection of quilts from Kaffe Fassett. Absolutely georgous locations and photos and as usual very precise instructions for making your own masterpiece.
Glad I bought it!

I saw when this book first came out but I have all the rest of Kaffe's books and I resisted because they can be repetative. I gave in and bought this one and it's beautiful. I just love looking at it and have ordered a kit. I've added it to my collection. Thank you!
