Overview

With his unerring eye, Kaffe has succeeded in finding the perfect location for his exquisite new collection of quilts, featuring both his scintillating new fabric designs and his classics, all in his unique colour palette. This time he has chosen the iconic 13th-century Powis Castle in north Wales, where the 20 quilts in this book are set off against the storybook castle and stunning grounds. Photographed brilliantly by Debbie Patterson, they are displayed in all their glory in a sumptuous eye-catching quilt gallery. Included in this set of new designs are many very special ones by Kaffe, and others by his long-time friend and co-designer, Liza Prior Lucy. Kaffe's Saturated Red quilt finds its perfect partner in the rich deep hues of the bed hangings on a magnificent four-poster, while his Cold Frames quilt, with its dramatic black-and-white sashing framing fussy-cut flower prints, echoes the studding on the medieval wooden doors into the courtyard. The cool geometry of his Marble Tiles quilt takes its inspiration from the painted paneling in the Long Gallery, and his Vintage Library quilt echoes the warm tones of the hundreds of leather-bound books in the Castle's collection. As usual, this book--the 24th in the series - includes a range of quilts for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced, and features an eclectic mix of patterns and colours ranging from Philip Jacobs' eye-catching bold floral prints to Brandon Mably's smaller-scale quirky patterns. Flat shots and a practical know-how section and glossary back up the fully illustrated, step-by-step instructions for each quilt.

Reviews

Powis Castle in mid-Wales was the inspiration for Kaffe Fassett’s latest collection of quilts, which were photographed on location in the medieval fortress. The dramatic castle interiors and the lush gardens provided Kaffe with a multitude of design ideas, reflected in the colours and elaborate patterns used in the quilts. As you’d expect from the ‘king of colour’, there are plenty of bright hues and bold prints on show, such as the Bubbly, Sunflower Checkerboard and Turquoise Dream designs. There are 20 quilts to make, with designs suitable for beginners and more advanced sewers, with clear assembly instructions for each quilt. The essential patchwork and quilting techniques are explained at the back of the book. * Knitting magazine *
