Renowned color expert and fabric designer Kaffe Fassett explores flowers as a source of inspiration for patchwork and needlepoint in the beautiful new book Kaffe Fassett’s Bold Blooms: Quilts and Other Works Celebrating Flowers (Abrams; September 13, 2016; U.S. $35.00; Hardcover with Jacket). Cowritten with quilt designer and longtime collaborator Liza Prior Lucy, this new guide and pattern collection includes not only eighteen new quilt and seven new needlepoint patterns, but also the fascinating design process that Fassett uses to create his sought-after floral fabric designs and rich colorways.
