I was very happy to receive this book, and have gotten some very good ideas for quilts from it. The colors used by Kaffe Fassett's quilts are very intense, and although I don't have access to the (expensive) fabrics they use, these quilts would be lovely in any colors. The photography in the book, quilts hung in an English country garden, is impressive. The instructions are easy enough to follow, and templates are provided.

Never Enough Kaffe
Oct 8 2008
By Kay K. Gardiner
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Although my taste can differ wildly from his, I never tire of looking at Kaffe Fassett's designs and getting a peek at how his mind works. I have all of his books, and this latest strikes me as a return to some of his strongest ideas. His multi-layered wall-of-color quilts are amazing. You think about color differently after seeing them (even if you think about color a lot). Old familiar pieced patterns have the power to surprise, when interpreted by Fassett.
As always, Brandon Mably and Liza Prior Lucy make beautiful contributions to this collection, and there is a beautiful quilt by newcomer (to KF's books) Jane Brocket. Fassett has an excellent eye for others' work, too.

Kaffe does it again!
Nov 12 2008
By J. Vasques
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The newest in the Kaffe Fassett book line is a new standard of color, vibrancy, and pure delight. When the phrase eye candy came into vogue, it must have been first said about the wonderful colorful interpretations Kaffe gives to the old art form of quilting, making it fresh and new. I found that having new contributors to the book makes it even more approachable. I can do it, too!! With his deceptively simple patterns, and somewhat crazy color and print variations, everything is possible.

A luscious garden of quilts
Oct 10 2008
By Sally Walker
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
It's another winner from Kaffe Fassett! Like a garden, the variety of quilt patterns and luscious fabrics featured in this book are sure to inspire quilt artists of every skill level. Although I do not quilt (yet), I have learned to look at color in a different way with each of Kaffe's books. It is a feast for the senses! I especially enjoyed Jane Brocket's description of the creative process that went into the design of her "Allotment Quilt."
