Gorgeous book.. pictures of the most amazing quilts I have ever seen. Very interesting and includes very detailed instructions on how to make each quilt in the book. There are OVER 50 quilts in this book and each one differnt and gorgeous. Also, easy to follow directions, templates and quilting patterns. Information for beginners and advanced quilters.. This is really the ONLY quilting book you will ever need.. although written in 1991, it is an older book, it really doesn't matter because all the quilts are antique anyway. If you buy this book you will not be sorry. I got a really great deal on this book, but if I'd known how nice it was I would have paid full price for it years ago and saved lots of $$ on bad quilt books.. This is truly a wonderful book..
This book accurately reflects the best quilts of America's Heritage. It preserves the patterns for some of the more complex quilts, such as the Carpenter's Square, that have fallen out of favor in the current wave of big blocks and quilt-in-a-day. The illustrations are in beautiful color. The quilts are generally displayed in period sets to give the reader an appreciation of the contribution of that pattern to its appropriate era. Most quilts are aslo fabricated oin the colors of the period. Even for the more complex quilts, the patterns, instructions and technical illustrations are very well-written and explicit. Even a beginning quilter will find these patterns easy to follow.
I really enjoy quilting and my passion is old American quilts. The circumstances in which women sewed , by hand, by candlelight, very little materials is quite extraordinary. I find BetterH&G really seek out these old quilts, and their patternmakers go to work so we can make them. I love the way Laura Boehnke gives an extra idea, when using different colours, she never ceases to inspire me. I really Love this book.
I had one just like this years ago but had to downsize and gave it to a quilt store to sell. Regrets no. Someone got a very well kept book. Now that I have more room this was the first one I really wanted again. So glad it’s priced right.😊.
