Cover InformationQuilts, A Beautiful History is the story of all the women who have lovingly created the rich tradition of quiltmaking. This book features 100 unique quilt designs spanning two centuries of stitching - from simple comforters made by the early settlers, to the exquisite needlework displayed by the makers of the Baltimore Album quilts, Amish minimalist designs, and the jaunty appliquéd domestic motifs of the Art Deco period. The quilts in this book are a tribute to the imagination, invention, and expertise of a generation of American needlewomen.
Zaro Weil, author, publisher, and poet has been collecting American quilts for more than twenty years and has exhibited her collection in various international settings
