description: Kaffe Fassett uses the colorful Venetian island of Burano to form the backdrop of another stunning collection of new quilt designs from the Kaffe Fassett Studio. In this 22nd installment of Kaffe Fassetts ever-popular series of patchwork and quilting books the quilts have been photographed on location in Burano  a tiny island in Italys Venetian archipelago  famous for its lace making but also for its brilliantly painted houses in a myriad jewel colors . The colorful house walls  sometimes distressed and occasionally decorated with murals form the backdrop along with the canals bridges and boats of this special Venetian island to another wonderful selection of Kaffe's new quilt designs . The collection of 19 quilts features both new fabric designs from the Kaffe Collective and some of his Classics. Bali Brocade makes a fantastic background to Kaffes sumptuous Shimmer Star quilt with its ripples of pattern in contrasting prints. His two versions of a very simple quiltcomes in two very different colorways . Hot Steps is a riot of color whereas by contrast its sister quilt Cool Steps  in dusty blues greens and greys has an dreamy quality. Liza Prior Lucys rich and dark Turkish Coffee quilt  with its hint of Eastern promise fussy cuts Kaffes new Turkish Delight fabric to brilliant effect. Kaffe Fassetts Quilts in Burano provides all the instructional text diagrams and templates to make the quilts plus a section on basic patchwork techniques for less experienced quilters.
