Contrast Fanfare by Kaffe Fassett

Contrast Fanfare is a quilt designed by Kaffe Fassett, adapted from an antique quilt in his personal collection. Constructed using English Paper Piecing, the design becomes a portable hand-pieced project. Modified curved piecing with the flat-back stitch creates smooth, flowing curves and a strong sense of movement throughout the quilt.

The repetition of curves and prints highlights Kaffe Fassett’s distinctive use of color while honoring the historic inspiration behind the design.
