| Description: |
In Simple Shapes Spectacular Quilts, world-renowned quilter
Kaffe Fassett demonstrates how basic geometric forms—squares,
rectangles, triangles, diamonds, circles, and quarter-circles—found in
natural and manmade environments inspire his quilt designs. Twenty-three
of his magnificent, inventive quilts—ranging from the relatively simple
Tilt, ideal for beginners, to the more complex Circle of Stars, for
more advanced stitchers—are showcased in the book, along with
step-by-step instructions for making each one.
Along the way,
Fassett also offers over a hundred photos of geometric inspiration from
around the world—everything from triangular watermelon slices, to
rectangular sheets of metal on African scrap dwellings, to
lollipop-shaped topiary trees in Japan. In the accompanying text,
Fassett reveals how he experiences the colors and basic shapes around
him, how we can train our own eyes to see this rewarding source of
creativity, and how we can, just as he does, combine striking fabrics
with simple shapes to create our own spectacular quilt designs. |
