Kaffe Fassett's Quilts en Provence

Kaffe Fassett's Quilts en Provence brings another collection of sumptuous new fabrics to patchwork enthusiasts, showing them how to create wonderful harmonies of colour in exciting new ways. Kaffe's approach to patchwork is not about tricky piecing, but rather about the joyous use of unexpected colour stories. Because of this, the quilts in this book demonstrate how traditional piecing can be newly interpreted with a modern twist.

This time, Kaffe highlights the work of fabric designer Philip Jacobs in his Designer Profile. Jacobs' collections are a mainstay of Rowan fabric's success. He has an international reputation for designing extraordinary floral fabrics for major furnishing houses in the UK. His love of natural forms and oriental art inspired his career as a textile designer, and when Kaffe invited him to design patchwork fabric for Rowan, he eagerly accepted the opportunity.

As always, the book introduces the new range of fabrics from Rowan. It includes a gallery of 20 quilts, shot on location, each followed by a full shot for reference purposes. Each quilt is accompanied by an ingredients list of fabrics and full written instructions, illustrated with colour diagrams. Templates for the quilts appear in the appendix of the book.
