The only issue I've had with Kaffe fabric were the woven stripes. I wouldn't say it was low quality, but because it was striped from the weave (dyed yarns rather than printing on top), it was a little harder to work with.
As long as you are going with his vibrant prints, you shouldn't have any issue!

I have bought a lot of Kaffe fabrics over the years. It was always lighter but still good quality. Recently I purchased another batch from Mardens in Maine and this fabric was (imho) not quality fabric - extremely light and thin and in no way any where near the quality of my older fabrics. A friend who sells fabric and I were talking - his take was the fabric that I purchased might have been produced for clothing and not quilting. It was just speculation on his part but side by side there was a marked difference.
