Customer Reviews

Very pleased at the stylistic manner of presentation

Very well organized book which placed a great emphasis on the quilters who made them. Quilts were made in the dawn of America. They were the "coverlets" in quaint Colonial Times, but to the average American, the were the "creature comforts" that kept the household occupants "warm and crispy". Kudos to this Collector's Addition. Quilts continue to have a strong place in America. This history just proves the diligence, intelligence, imagination, and ingenuity of the American people in creating "art with a purpose".
