SUMMARY- You get a nice selection of patterns drawn directly from antique quilt collections across the US. The author took six months traveling from museum to museum and various historical societies that had quilt collections. She had a tough time narrowing down her choices for the book. So many of the quilts were so complex, just a few of them would have filled all the pages. I can believe that. What she gives are interesting. The section I was most interested in were the candlewicking - which you don't see much of any more but I can remember my grandmother on my father's side having one on her bed - and the quilting section, which had a great many patterns to choose from.
