Quilt master Kaffe Fassett goes bold and graphic with 24 new projects made with iridescent solid–colored cotton fabrics (called shot cottons) and woven, striped cotton fabrics. Photographed in and around his weekend home on England’s southern coast, the quilts are inspired by his worldwide travels and a plethora of ethnic textiles. The projects featured range from full-size bed quilts to quicker and easier-to-complete throws, wall hangings, and table runners, answer ing the modern call for bold, graphic quilts that can be pieced together quickly.
