Kaffe Fassett needs no introduction—a master colourist and textile designer, Kaffe is known for legendary designs and fantastic quilts. And now he’s back with new images, new patterns, and a new look at his most storied designs.

Timeless Themes explores the classic, bold patterns that we’ve come to know and love from Kaffe. Each chapter focuses on a pattern theme from the Kaffe Fassett Collective—whether stripes, circles, geometrics, and botanicals, or wild paisleys and retro zig zags.

An archive of Kaffe’s photos, collected over the last fifty years, is presented alongside images of the fabrics they inspired.
