Its Paper Foundation Piecing Technique!
I bought the book…
Kaffe Fassett’s Shots and Stripes Book
All his other books can be seen on his website in this link Kaffe Fassett’s books
Upon reading the story behind the quilt, the words ‘rather tricky’ and ‘not good for beginner paper piecer’ made me realise it was a more advanced technique,and I was in awe of how it is created.
African Collage designs feature in Kaffee Fasset’s ‘Shots and Stripes’ book which is full of marvelous designs from his shot cotton and striped fabric range. Whilst flicking through the book I was very taken with his Samarkand Table Runner.
Kaffees inspiration for this quilt was the fairground shown in this picture and I just love how he has gone from this picture to the bright, vibrant colours and angles of the table runner.
This book opened up my world to Kaffee Fassett and his extensive range of quilt designs and many books he has published. One of those books is called ‘Quilts in the Cotswolds’. I thought this might be good for course ideas for Carry on Quilting. So this book might have also fallen into my Amazon basket along with a charm pack of his fabric.
I am looking forward to working with these books and fabric very soon.
Take care
Stephanie
