Kaffe Fassett,Liza Prior Lucy
In ,Kaffe Fassett Quilts Shots and Stripes,, quilt master Kaffe Fassett and coauthor Liza Prior Lucy present 24 projectsâ€”small and large, beginner and advancedâ€”made with iridescent solid-colored cotton fabrics (called shot cottons) and woven striped cotton fabrics, all photographed in and around his weekend home on Englandâ€™s southern coast. Inspired by worldwide travels and a plethora of ethnic textiles, including Amish quilts in America, Japanese indigo patched work clothes, and African weavings, the projects featured include full-size bed quilts as well as smaller pieces that can be completed more quickly, such as throws, wall hangings, table runners, and pillows. With ,Shots and Stripes,, Fassett answers the current call for quilts that make bold graphic statements but are not necessarily as time-consuming as some of the work for which he has been previously celebrated.
