Che bella! Kaffe's inspiration for the 20 new quilts in this book
was drawn from the exquisite, richly colored villages of Cinque Terre on
the Italian Riviera. The region, with its terracotta walls and handsome
black and white churches set off by jewel-like glimpses of the
Mediterranean, is beautifully reflected in the colors and patterns
created by Kaffe and his team of designers.
The glorious array of designs featured in Kaffe Fassett's Quilts
in Italy are all made using classic as well as new fabrics from the
Kaffe Fassett Fabric Collection--subtle or bold, simple or complex, all
of the designs come together with emblematic Kaffe Fassett flair. Choose
from the delicious ice-cream colors and traditional piecing of Kaffe's
own Lacy Log Cabin, the bold and contrasting colors and forms of
Scaffold, the almost dizzying complexity of Chiaroscuro, with its
four-in-one style piecing, and many more eye-catching designs.
In addition to the gallery of quilts, the book provides detailed
information on how to make each featured quilt, along with general
practical patchwork and quilting information and a visual summary of
Kaffe's latest fabrics.
