Although quilts have been around for hundreds of years, it took the necessities of the New World to bring quilts of life. They were invented by creative Colonial women who needed warm coverings for their families but whose only source of fabric was often a bag of leftover materials and salvaged bits from worn-out clothes. As they worked, the patterns they evolved became a source of beauty and often a historical document on what was happening at the time. The 2,400 patterns. show the variety and artistic merit of American quilt patterns, a credit to the ingenuity of our ancestors." . First Printing of the First Edition. Oversize Softcover.

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
