Quilts, Their Story and How to Make Them
by Marie D. Webster
About this book
Although the quilt is one of the most familiar and necessary articles in our households, its story is yet to be told. In spite of its universal use and intimate connection with our lives, its past is a mystery which -- at the most -- can only be partially unraveled. (from the Introduction)
