Kaffe Fassett Quilts by the Sea

For
this landmark 25th book in
his highly successful patchwork
and quilt series, Kaffe Fassett
has chosen the southern coast of
England as the inspiration for his new collection of quilts. Beachgoers
have long enjoyed the rocky shores near Hastings in East Sussex for their wild beauty and classic
architecture.

Featuring several miles of coastline, this seaside community
has its roots in the fishing industry and was the
site of the Norman Conquest's Battle of Hastings in 1066. Once a popular Victorian resort area, this gem of the southern coast is now experiencing a travel
renaissance thanks to a thriving
arts movement.

The gallery section of the book showcases
the 21 new designs, all brilliantly
photographed on location by Debbie
Patterson. The deep jewel tones
of
Kaffe's Maroon
Frames are enhanced by the geometric lines of similarly toned beach
huts. Kaffe's Vintage Stars has an old-world
quality featuring earthy tones
that are brilliantly set against
the backdrop of a
brick garden wall. The stunning Colour Garden quilt, featured
on the cover, feels perfectly at home draped over an old fishing boat overlooking the sea, while
his confectionary Fruit
Sorbet cushion showcases taffy-inspired pastels sure to inspire
a cozy afternoon by
the beach.

With both Kaffe's classic fabrics
and his forward-thinking new designs to choose from, quilters
will be thrilled with all Quilts by the Sea offers.

In addition to the quilt designs, Quilts by the Sea includes detailed step-by-step instructions, accompanied by a flat shot of each quilt with the relevant block or quilt assembly
diagram, while a how-to section offers
more detailed guidance.
