There's a new exhibit at the American Museum & Gardens featuring Kaffe Fassett's Quilts in America.

From the museum:

Kaffe Fassett’s Quilts in America 16 March – 3 November 2019 We are delighted to welcome back Kaffe Fassett to the American Museum for our 2019 special exhibition. As part of our special exhibition programme, we will be showcasing 20 brand new quilts designed by Kaffe. These stunning new artworks have been inspired by the Museum’s world-renowned collection of antique American quilts. The exhibition at the American Museum will provide a unique opportunity to see the old and the new alongside one another. Kaffe Fassett, Brandon Mably and their design team have worked closely with chief curator Kate Hebert to select appropriate quilts from the Museum’s collection. These treasures were then reimagined and recreated using fabrics designed by the team. The resulting creations showcase Kaffe’s flair for, and use of, vivid colour combinations. Accompanying the exhibition is Kaffe’s latest publication Kaffe Fassett’s Quilts in America (published August 2018). Kaffe has had a long association with the American Museum, which has held a number of exhibitions of his work. It is fitting that to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his successful series of patchwork and quilting books, Kaffe should choose the quilt collection at the Museum as the inspiration for his latest publication. Exhibition includes: 20 new Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably designed quilts. 18 historic quilts from the collection of the American Museum.

Is this at the American Museum in Bath England? I know Kaffe has an exhibition there this summer.
Have seen some of his exhibitions in other places in U.K. and there are fantastic.

Beautiful! Kaffe proves once again that beautiful quilts don’t have to be quilted to death!
