I've purchased several Kaffe Fassett books, and I think they're some of the best books in my library. The photography of the quilts is especially beautiful. I don't agree that they have to be made with special fabrics. Many rely only on stripes, polka dots, solids, florals, etc. What he does is merge fabrics together in a very liberal, delightful way. His books have taught me to look at color and design differently.
