Book Review – Kaffe Fassett’s Quilts in the Cotswold

Displaying exquisite quilts around the Cotswolds area in England, the medallion quilt designs featured in the book Kaffe Fassett’s Quilts in the Cotswolds shine.

The Cotswolds is an area in England featuring rolling hills and beautiful landscape. Famous for its historic and quaint villages, one can often see them featured in movies and television programs that are set in a bygone era. This British charm makes it an ideal place to photograph these quilts.

There are nineteen designs featured in the book and they are for all skill levels. The patterns are included, along with color diagrams. In addition, there is a section devoted to patchwork and quilting skills.

Kaffe Fassett is a premier American artist, well known for his colorful designs in a variety of art forms.

Let’s be honest — quilting is a joy, but it can also be an investment. Fabric costs have crept up over the years, and many of us want to stretch our quilting budget as far as possible without compromising on quality or creativity. That’s why I love Fat Quarter Shop’s Precuts of the Week Monday sale. It’s smart shopping at its finest.

Each Monday, a single precut is offered at a special price. It might be a seasonal collection, a bestselling designer, or a new release you’ve been eyeing. Precuts are already efficient — coordinated, pre-cut, and ready to sew — and a discount on top of that makes them even more appealing.

If you’re looking for smart, budget-friendly quilt inspiration, these CraftGossip resources are must-reads:

What I appreciate most about precut deals is that they eliminate the overwhelm. Instead of comparing dozens of bundles, you get one curated offer to consider. It takes the hesitation out of buying and makes it easier to build your stash intentionally.

It’s also a fantastic way to shop ahead for holiday sewing, baby quilts, hostess gifts, and charity projects. Precuts lend themselves beautifully to fast, reliable patterns — especially strip quilts and charm square designs. If you need inspiration, this list is a great jumping-off point:

If you enjoy stretching your quilting dollars while still working with high-quality fabrics, add the Monday Precut sale to your routine. It’s a little moment of joy and practicality rolled into one.
