Best Quilts in America - Premium Quality, Soft & Cozy Bedding for Home, Hotel, and Gift Use

A few years ago I was helping a friend of mine identify some 75 year old quilts that her Grandmother had made by hand as my friend wanted to estimate the value of them for insurance purposes. A lady I met on a quilting forum recommended this book to me. I had checked out numerous quilt books from the library before acquiring this book, and the other books beforehand were of no help to me at all. This Quilts In America book is written by two world-renowned quilt historians and was definitely what my friend and I were looking for. It's a beautiful book, too, almost coffee-table quality.Edited to add: I have no idea why it says my purchase was a paperback - because I did get the hardcover edition. Probably some type of computer glitch. :)A very good book at a very good price! Good to add to a quilt book library. Buy yours today!Very disappointed that all photos of quilts are in black and white. Wish I had known that before purchasing.Great book full of historical informationExcellent book!a "must" for anyone interested in American art...or quilts in general. a consummate body of work that both surveys the topic and gets into details only when appropriately necessary. written with a passion and sensitivity that sheds new light on some very old cloth.More than met expectations. The book is easy to read, but has depth and I would recommend this book to expert and beginner alike.
