"This treasury surveys nearly three hundred years of quilt history, techniques, patterns, and styles. Traveling all over the country to conduct research and to collect quilts, the authors have assembled a richly illustrated study of traditional quilts." "From the simple, serviceable quilts of the early colonists to the work of twentieth century quilters, this volume surveys virtually every type of quilt and pattern, detailing the techniques, tools, fabrics, and dyes. The abundant historical and practical information offers guidelines for establishing the age of antique quilts and provides careful instructions for cleaning and care of heirloom quilts."--BOOK JACKET.
