Taking a look back over the past week or so
what has really caught my eye is colour, lots & lots of colour!

linda from koshka2quilts was very excited to catch Kaffe's tour of his Gallery.
The collection of quilts comprised quilts and quilt tops that Kaffe has purchased over the years,
some which had been the inspiration for new quilts which are in his new book Bold Blooms.
... like for example this old 'Handkerchief' quilt which is one of my all time favourites

what are you loving this week?
That handkerchief quilt is one of my all time favorites too. It must have been wonderful to see it in person!
ReplyDeleteI'm part of the handkerchief quilt favourite team. It was the first quilt I just had to photocopy and stick on my notice board as inspiration when I started quilting. I love Kaffe's version too, he's really put his own spin on it.
ReplyDeleteI love the handkerchief, too, though I prefer the older version with the prints twinkling all through it. Kaffe's solids are beautiful in color (and his colors always make me swoon), but I find solids to just be more static than lively.
ReplyDeleteThe world needs more colour. I have just requested that Kaffe book from the library. I always request first to see if I want to buy them after. Happy weekending, enjoy the fine weather.
ReplyDeleteSo droolworthy...I may have dribbled on my keyboard. It is our desire to add color and excitement to our everyday lives that results into quilts. Thanks to Kaffe and his creations. I am a fan too.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Preeti.
Gotta love a bit o' Kaffe!!
ReplyDeleteThis was fun - isn't colour glorious?
