Summary |
Patterns, Instructions, tips, quilt care. Southern women have earned a deserved reputation for quality and ingenuity in quiltmaking. In times when women were limited in their outlets, making quilts was an acceptable means of personal and creative expression. Its forms have ranged from the earliest applique and whole-cloth quilts of the coastal states, the intricate quilting and stuffing in the mid-1800's, the strong, bold pieced work of the late nineteenth century, through delightful scrap quilts to the most modern of quilts and wall hangings... This book pays tribute to all those who contributed to the making of that tradition as well as to those who will preserve and continue it. |
