Inspiration

My copy of the book Quilt Romance by Kaffe Fassett arrived yesterday, and was a huge distraction!  This book is overflowing with creativity.  The quilts are really gorgeous, and certainly an eye-opener for use of the much loved fabrics by Kaffe Fassett. 

Spring Log Cabin by Liza Prior Lucy

I have what I (and most quilters) would call a significant stash of Kaffe's fabrics which I just adore.  At times I find myself struggling to use some of these fabrics, to blend them with the rest of my fabric stash, but this book certainly is full of inspiration and guidance on how to successfully use Kaffe's fabrics and how to mix them together to make the most stunning quilts.

I did manage to also baste the quilt that I have been working on this week and have started quilting it.  Many  readers have asked for some of the details and I will endeavour to prepare a tutorial for the pieced block next week.


The solid fabric is Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton in White, purchased from The Fabric Shack.
