If Only Quilts Could Talk

"Quilts Are Forever" is a wonderful treasury of the stories behind the quilts. Some of the stories are told by the quilters and others by a person who was touched by a quilt. I believe this is the first book of its kind in print other than the state quilt projects and oral quilt projects. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has ever been intrigued by the story behind a quilt they've seen in an antique store or auction or one they loved.
