I made this vest using my Kimono Collage Vest pattern See the Store. A layer of Osnaburg between the collage fabrics and the backing fabric gives the vest body. The left front, back, and backing (which functions as the lining) are all Marica Derse fabrics. I used Marcia Derse and Kaffe Fassett fabrics on the right front. 48” x 48”įor this vest I decided to collage just the right front and do something simpler (and faster) on the left front and back.
The skinny strips of intense color make the blocks appear to advance, as if they’re floating above a black-and-white background. To keep the blocks from blending with the sashing, I added narrow red flanges. I wanted to space out the blocks with sashing, and although I have many black-and-white prints, I went with this dramatic design. Here are Lustrous blocks made using Gradations ombrés and Kaffe Fassett prints. See Store for the pattern this quilt is also a workshop. I had to let go of my idea of Kaffe-only fabrics a few Michael James and Moda stripes were just the ticket. But when I looked at the blocks casually stuck on my design wall, I knew they were meant to be together.
The original plan was to make individual "color-story" blocks and separate them with neutral sashing. Spumoni is a "molded Italian ice cream made with layers of different colors and flavors, usually containing candied fruits and nuts." It seemed an apt title for a busy, cheerful quilt made of mostly Kaffe Fassett patterned and striped fabrics.
