Customer Reviews

Fabulous quilt book

Not only does this book have beautiful pictures of a wide variety of quilts, it covers the history of quilting. It brings alive the rich tapestry of quilting and why it has evolved from a necessity in women's lives to an art form. It is both a wonderful pictorial review of quilts and a great leaning tool.

A "to die for" book for quilters

This book is by far the most beautiful and informative book I have ever owned. It is also the biggest and heaviest book I have ever carried out of a store. It is full of wonderful prints of quilts of all kinds and from history as well as today. The text is fascinating as you read about the truth of the history of quilting, about quilts done by the people of different modern cultures and about the trends and exciting things happening in quilting today. I am sure this book will bring hundreds of hours of enjoyment both in the reading and in the gazing again and again at the prints
