Kaffet Fasset quilt

I have a confession to make…. I dislike Kaffe Fassett fabric. While working on this quilt, I had a list of reasons, but once it was done, I realised this is just my opinion, so I won't share the details.

I have, however, decided to try to convince any future Kaffet Fasset fans, handing me quilts to finish, to settle for an all-over meander instead of any detailed motif or even custom quilting.  With this feather filler, I simply couldn’t see where I’ve been, where I am supposed to be going or looking back on what I did, see any motif at all. It was just a crazy bunch of overprinted colours.  To me, too much.

I struggled to finish and ended up just quilting in half-hour increments, as that is how long I could pretend to enjoy it.  When I finally advanced to where I could see the backing, I knew at least the motif on the back was visible.
