The American quilt : a history of cloth and comfort, 1750-1950
Roderick Kiracofe (Author), Mary Elizabeth Johnson Huff (Contributor), Sharon Risedorph (Photographer)
The most important, comprehensive, and sumptuously illustrated addition to the literature of quilting since Orlofsky's "Quilts in America." Most of the book's 250 stunning full-color quilts have never before been published. With them as a reference, Kiracofe shows us how to read a vocabulary of fabrics, dyes, patterns, and other clues to put quilts in their social and cultural context. Full-color photographs
