Colourful quilts

The National Railway Museum, York, was the rather unlikely venue for Kaffe Fassett’s colour workshops at the end of July. Chosen because of the amount of wall space available, the Museum hosted 60 quilters over the two days, each working on the colour layout for Kaffe’s Medallion quilt, from his new book Heritage Quilts.

The results were nothing short of spectacular! Kaffe’s teaching at the start of the day and his individual critique of each quilt layout at the end meant participants left brimming with new ideas, the confidence to think outside the box and the determination to avoid “matchy-matchy”!
