my geese, that is.....
It's hard to tell from here, but the points are much
better this time round!
I had some gift vouchers that were due to expire so
I was pleased to find this in my local book shop....
I have an on-again, off-again love affair with Kaffe....
I made this quilt nearly five years ago...
his pattern, my fabrics!

| Sorry about the bad 'flick'r' photo! It's the only one I can find! It hangs proudly on a friend's wall. I love this new version I found inside...  especially as I have a thing for pink and yellow at the moment! This maybe going on to my to-do list! Is there a pattern out there that you'd consider making again? SUZ |
The geese look great!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking Geese. I love Kaffe Fassett though sometimes I am more into his books than others. And I love the wall hanging you made. I would make the Swoon quilt again. Actually I have only the top so far but I don't like it. I bought a kit so I copied the designers version (so it doesn't feel very creative) and my points are all cut off. I'd take my time and pick out my own fabrics next time.
ReplyDeleteI knew you could herd those geese into line! I don't dare to look at other people's patterns until I finish off what's in my head!
ReplyDeleteTHe Pickle-Dish! And I never get tired of anything Log Cabin! Its a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteYes, every quilt I've made I wish I could make a second time! About halfway through my brain starts with the, "I wonder how this would look...". Wish I had time to do that.
ReplyDeletegeese look good to me x I have blocks that I do over... and over because they are comfortable... and old friends x then there are others that I am going to repeat... one day x lol x
ReplyDeleteNice geese! Fun about finding the Kaffe book & the similar quilt! If all goes as planned I'm going to a quilt show with Kaffe & Brandon Mably quilts tomorrow....I'll report back for ya!
ReplyDeleteI find that Kaffe's books inspire me to do things my own way and not follow patterns. (Of course, that's my normal operating procedure, but I still feel his style and books add to the compulsion to just Play!) I'm afraid I have too many things I want to get to--repeating a pattern falls down to the bottom of the list.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
I see perfect points there.
ReplyDeleteAs far as making the same pattern again, I usually choose not to because I find it boring but I was asked to make a second flower girl quilt by my DIL and I am happy to oblige.
Am I allowed to admit to not being a Kasse fan? While I love colour and my choices are often over the top, there's just something about his quilts that is "too much" for my taste. Having said that, I quite like the flower quilt, and I could quite imagine making it more than once in different colours. Log cabin themed quilts are the only ones I've done multiple times.
ReplyDeletePerfect points from here.
ReplyDeleteI love Kaffe Fassett and have quite a few of his books, but have never made anything from any of them. At the moment there is nothing I want to make again. Maybe one day though I might try the French Roses pattern as I really loved making that.
Love your geese - one of the ladies from the Sunday sew-in is making a quilt using a nice diamond pattern with some of the many Kaffe prints that are at our LQS.
ReplyDeleteI love kaffe books! I made his Shirt Stripe Box quilt when I first started quilting and wouldn't mind making that again in more colourful stripes. He has a few quilts I'd love to make and always find looking at his use of colour and beautiful fabrics inspiring.
ReplyDeleteKaffe quilts certainly are bright aren't they. I think I may make another of the first quilt I made, a Moda Bakeshop Pinwheel Baby Quilt with prairie points.
ReplyDeleteI think you uncorked a feeling around we quilters with your admission that you have an off-again, on-again thing with Kaffe. Obviously many of us feel the same. I LOVE his fabrics, like the books and am impressed with his creativity. Went once to a local quilt guild's hosting of him and heard his lecture (not impressed--felt like it was a waste of time and money), but I have his latest book on the way here from Amazon--just love looking at the quilts!
ReplyDeleteE.
I love your block and the book looks great. I have most of his knitting and quilting books, I will check that one out too. I truly want to make every quilt I have made again at least once or ten times, there is just no time. I fall for every pattern pretty hard it seems.
ReplyDeleteI love KF's books as they are full of eye candy and I love the saturated colours in his fabrics although his patterns can be a little intimidating. I tend not to repeat patterns as I haven't been quilting very long and there are so many I want to try :)
ReplyDeleteI borrowed a Kaffe book from the library recently, and I'm fast becoming a fan of his work. He's definitely not scared of colour!
