Folk Quilts and How to Recreate Them

Audrey & Douglas Wiss

With 30 full-color plates and more than 150 photographs, drawings, and diagrams.  A treasury of traditional designs for quilters and collectors, this imaginative pattern book pictures and explains 30 colorful and captivating quilts made in rural and small-town America 50 to 125 years ago.  The pattern names--among them Drunkard's Path, Wild Goose Chase, Windmill Blades, Grandmother's Flower Garden, and Sugar Loaf--evoke the charm and ingenuity of old-fashioned quilt making.

   Most of these traditional quilts are pieced; some include charming applique details.  Easy-to-follow instructions and diagrams accompany each of the classic patterns and make assembly a pleasure for both individuals and quilting groups.  There are full-size pattern pieces, blocks, and piecing diagrams to assist the beginning, intermediate, and advanced quilter. 

   An attractive blend of historical detail and practical direction, Folk Quilts and How to Recreate Them is the perfect gift to give yourself or a favorite quilter.
