Summary: A different look at history - nice view!
Review: I was pleasantly surprised with this book, and my wife found this book this book to be a interesting and fun to read. In over 230 pages you'll be treated to over 100 stories about different people, thus allowing the quilt to take on a life of its own. Stories about Eli Whitney, Uncle Sam, Martin Luther King, Norman Rockwell, Clara Barton, Elvis, Jefferson Davis, Davy Crockett, Sacagawea and Casey Jones are but a few of the characters you find in this book. The history along with the travel is what builds this quilt. It is truly a great reading and written for all age groups and along the way you might find out something about yourself, an excellent job!

Summary: America seen through pieces of a Quilt
Review: I'm a new quilter and like it that quilts ranging from
the top winners in the country to the most humble
everyday ones get recognition for their importance to
the quilter and our American heritage.

Summary: Quilt of America:Stories of Americans and quilts Pieced into
Review: This book gave me such an appreciation for the art of quilting. I will never look at a quilt in the same way again. I have never made a quilt before. But, after reading this book I want to. This book explores how woman used quilting as a means of expressing their emotions and as a way of preserving their faminly history and memories. This book is also a wonderful reference book for history buffs. Every page is filled with interesting facts about great americans who have given so much to our country and our way of life. I highly recomend this book. Not just for quilters, but for anyone who loves history and trivia.
