Kaffe quilts

I couldn’t stand it. I just had to add the jumble sashing to the left over sunburst blocks. So I dug in after our dinner and walk this evening. I cut the sashing pieces to 3 inches, so they…

It was a quick trip to the AQS Fall Paducah Quilt Show in Kentucky, but my first time to visit Paducah. I was blown away by the number of quilts on display, in multiple buildings, both contest and exhibition. What I saw and could take pictures of was merely a drop in the proverbial quilt bucket.

Bordered Diamonds is such a great pattern. The original pattern is in Simple Shapes, Spectacular Quilts by Kaffe Fassett, but that book is out of print now, so I've been using Midnight Diamonds from Quilts in Burano by Kaffe Fassett.

I especially like the big Cactus Flower block above, surrounded by the blue section of the Diamond Stripe…

I’ve been obsessing over a quilt I saw on Facebook last week. Literally thinking about it all the time. I decided to dig into my stash and found this 2016 Kaffe Fassett layer cake and decided…
