About this title

Synopsis

This manual demonstrates how to create quilts with the cotton candy colours and designs of the mid-20th century. It discusses the quilts and fabrics of the "near past", from the 1920s to the 1970s, and explores finding, collecting and using vintage fabrics (feedsacks and by-the-yard) and today's popular reproductions. There are five quilt projects based on traditional designs, made with the fabrics of the past. A gallery of quilts is also presented, and includes both replicas of vintage quilts and new versions inspired by the originals.
