Taking a journey back in time, Kaffe Fassett presents 20 glorious new quilts that feature all the romance of a time gone by. The eleventh in the series of bestselling quilt-pattern collections, Kaffe Fassett's Quilt Romance is a study in pastels and tradition set against the dramatic Italianate architecture of a tiny Welsh village. Based on Fassett's signature line of Rowan fabrics, the pieces have been designed by some of the world's finest quilters, including Liza Prior-Lucy, Pauline Smith, Robert Horton, and introducing Kim McClean, an Australian quilt designer and teacher. The stunning photos by Debbie Patterson are just the start: complete instructions for creating each museum-quality quilt are included along with tips and techniques that Fassett has gathered in his more than 30 years of experience. Every quilter will treasure this next book in the series from an international favorite.

When I saw the Bordered Diamonds quilt in Kaffe Fassett's book, Simple Shapes Spectacular Quilts, I knew immediately that it would be a perfect quilt for a thank you gift for my aunt. Never mind that my stash did not contain many large floral prints. My first thought was that I would just buy a kit, and Glorious Color has fabric kits to make two different versions of the quilt. This is their version from the book. And this is their version from the June/July 2010 Quilt Magazine. I carefully analyzed each kit trying to decide which would be best. Then I started thinking about how I liked each version--except for this or that fabric, and how I wanted to use some of my own fabrics, and how I am pretty persnickety about fabric choices, and I finally just gave up and started collecting florals...surely that wouldn't add too much to my stash? Here's a view of the cut diamonds and border strips and of my lovely white board which has been replaced: And since the directions call for dark diamonds to have light strips, and light diamonds to have dark strips, and the rows to alternate, I photographed them, then changed them to black and white to determine the values, as shown here by the strips (although these are the mediums to darks primarily): But after trying to lay them out as directed, I decided to do my own thing when the light/dark thing didn't work, and just evenly separated the colors. And now, a couple of months later, the blocks of the quilt are all sewn together. Hooray! I needed the quilt to be larger than designed, so it's now waiting for the border fabric to be added. This is what I am planning on using: And, having easily spent twice as much as I would have on a kit (what's an extra 1/2 yard here or there?), I now have a very large bin of floral fabrics. My stash, like my waistline, only seems to grow in one direction....

This page is all about my Ballet with Kaffe Fassett quilt. I've called my quilt Fireworks. Fireworks I started my Ballet quilt on 8 June 2017 with these fabrics. Although I'm a great Kaffe Fassett fan, I decided not to make his fabrics the focus for this quilt. I've always thought this pattern resembled fireworks, so I used a dark background to represent the night sky, and made the colours in my rosettes really pop, like fireworks do. I've loved this particular Cotton + Steel print above for some time, so I decided to use it as my inspiration fabric for this quilt. It's by Sarah Watts from the Spring 2015 Honeymoon range and is called Sketches and Memories from Costa Rica. I just love how the colours work together, and it has the dark background I'm looking for. Here are links to all my posts on the Ballet with Kaffe quilt: 15 June 2017 - Getting started 27 August 2017 - Progress and how to sew a 10 pointed star 15 Feb 2018 More progress 8 April 2018 - Meeting Willyne Hammerstein at AQC Melbourne 10 April 2018 - Willyne's Moncarapacho quilt at AQC 6 Feb 2019 - Back at it 12 Dec 2019 - Ballet with Kaffe Revisited 2 Jan 2020 - Ballet with Kaffe top is finished 4 April 2020 - How I attached the borders 20 August 2021 - Ballet with Kaffe = Fireworks (the finished quilt) August 2017 Here's my progress from the first few months of working on this quilt. I don't imagine it will all come together this quickly, but new quilts always pull me in and get me stitching quickly. February 2018 February 2019 Just like on la passacaglia, my mind is working faster than my hands and I already have groupings of fabrics set aside for future rosettes. I'm really looking forward to this adventure. January 2020 - the top is finished April 2020 and the borders are on. May 2021 - it's finished an on display at the Great New Zealand Quilt Show in Rotorua, NZ
