This is Sue and Mike Presley of Mint Hill, North Carolina. They are in front of the quilt “Stripescape” by Kaffe Fassett in the exhibit “Kaffe Fassett: 85 & Fabulous.” And these foster parents are displaying photos of 15 of their 20 grandchildren!
Of the quilt, Kaffe hand-pieced and hand-quilted it for his book “Simple Shapes, Spectacular Quilts.” He cut long strips of striped fabrics in ranges of rusts, pinks, and other rich medium-toned colors, being careful not to line up the stripes to achieve an organic unevenness.
