This is a fabulous book filled with beautiful quilts & photo

There are patterns (templates and instructions) for 80 quilts, but the book would be worth it just for the quilt photographs (of collectible older Amish quilts). The colors and design are fabulous -- this is really an art book as much as a quilting book.In addition, there are essays describing aspects of Amish life, with photographs to illustrate, and an attempt is made to connect the patterns on the quilts with the features and landscape of Amish life -- the center diamond, for example, is compared to a field waiting to be harvested as viewed from a certain angle.I will treasure this book for years to come and plan to make some quilts using it.
