Standard Book of Quilt-Making and Collecting

Rating:
Summary: Nice if you collect quilt books
Review: This is a wonderful old-fashioned book, first published in the 1940's. The quilt patterns are nostalgic more of the 19th century, than of the early 20th century quilts. It's a fun book for book collectors. Pictures are all black & white, and instructions for making the quilts are pretty minimal. Also watch out -- some of the applique patterns provided are not drawn exactly as the photographs show. Definitely not a good book for beginners, and probably of little interest if your taste runs toward the contemporary.
