If you are interested in the history of Folk Art Quilting,you may want to read this book,American Folk Art Quilt by Maggi McCormick.From the early settlers through the 1900's,the book presents the various types of quilt patterns,how they were used and the fabric and color choices. The colorful illustrations are high quality,and large enough to really see the quilt's makeup.The end of the book had a workshop section that showed tools needed,various pattern constructions,such as Signature Fans,Trapunto Wholecloth, Basket of Flowers ,Appliqued Wreath and Dove,and some templets for trapunto and applique.On the whole I was very pleased with the book,and certainly recommend it.
