I love shopping for books on Connecting Threads. Click on the title to take you to the page for that book, then click on the "view more images" tab under the picture of the front cover. This will take you to a page that shows all the patterns in that book!!!! Here's a link to the KF books on sale now... looks like the first one is sold out already.

Check out your local library, it's amazing the books you will find, both hardcover and digital. My library will even try to find the book at another library system other than mine. Libraries are amazing and free.

Here are some free patterns that might be helpful. The free ones are on the right side....scroll down & you will see a couple made w/Kaffe Fassett fabrics. The African Collage pattern is in his book, Shots & Stripes.

Oh Jclinganrey and Yolajean, your quilts are lovely. I like a bit more of the batik fabrics showing than thin strips which was in the two photos she sent me. I have my BQ pattern somewhere, much like your second one Yolajean. I love batiks and want to show them off. but modern for boys (grown men) she said. fabric is in the mail to me now. thanks all.

There are Kaffe Kits on Craftsy and Jordan Fabrics make sup kits with patterns. https://jordanfabrics.com/collection...=Free%20Spirit

You can also find tutorials on YouTube for projects using his fabrics.

Of course Pinterest is another source of inspiration.

Try Amazon. A lot of the books have a preview where you can see what is in them. I have a lot of Kaffe's books just because I like to look at the pics.

Freepatterns.com has some Kaffe Fasset patterns. You might want to take a look there to see if any of them are close to what you're searching for.

Liza Prior Lucy makes most, if not all, of Kaffe's quilts, and the ones I've seen have all been traditional patterns, meaning you can find them online for free. Liza uses Kaffe's fabrics in interesting and different ways. If you direct us to the quilt in question, we may be able to help you out with a pattern name.
