In Kaffe Fassett Quilts Shots and Stripes, quilt master Kaffe Fassett
and coauthor Liza Prior Lucy present 24 projects--small and large,
beginner and advanced--made with iridescent solid-colored cotton fabrics
(called shot cottons) and woven striped cotton fabrics, all photographed
in and around his weekend home on England's southern coast. Inspired by
worldwide travels and a plethora of ethnic textiles, including Amish
quilts in America, Japanese indigo patched work clothes, and African
weavings, the projects featured include full-size bed quilts as well as
smaller pieces that can be completed more quickly, such as throws, wall
hangings, table runners, and pillows. With Shots and Stripes, Fassett
answers the current call for quilts that make bold graphic statements
but are not necessarily as time-consuming as some of the work for which
he has been previously celebrated.
