This is a wonderful book, beautifully illustrated with colour plates of quilts which are in the true tradition of making something beautiful out of scraps and remnants from whatever comes to hand. A seminal book for a study of the history of American patchwork

lovely book, inspiring women and wonderful work

These quilts are the finest art that has come out of the USA, probably ever. This book captures the colour and vibrancy of the work, as well as giving a good rundown on the story of the quilters who made them.

Of interest to quilters, textile artists, historians, anthropologists ....
