I have well over 100 quilt history books, this being one of my top 2 favorites. The detailed history behind the Miami Valley Quilts is second to none.The beautiful photos are plentiful.As I pondered over a black and white photo of the Eli Hoke quilt in another book,I wished I could just see a color photo of it. Forgetting that I had pre ordered this book, I received it the next day.If you love sampler/album quilts this book is sure to delight you. A few weeks ago I went to a local quilt show. I had no idea the author of this book would be there as well as Mary's quilt (pictured on page55). I was certainly thrilled. These quilts are truly an important part of our quilt heritage and study of regional quilts unique to the Miami Valley in Ohio.As you study over the quilts in this book you too will be able to spot a true Miami Valley quilt.There are unique motifs in these quilts that will trace the quilts back to the Miami Valley in Ohio.I highly recommend this book to anyone that truly loves quilt history.

This is one of those great quilt books with no patterns, just lots of wonderful pictures of antique quilts. Good close up views, would be fairly easy to duplicate a lot of the quilts. I would recommend this book for any quilt book collecter who is interested in old applique and pieced quilts.

Thorough treatment of a little known, provincial genre of quilt design. Extensive history and genealogy of the families that made the quilts, including some history of the region where they lived. Fascinating if one is interested in Ohio history, history of the western expansion, or quilt history.

I really enjoyed the historical facts of this book. I learned a lot about Ohio. Colour photos were great,would have liked to have a couple of patterns included.Would love to buy more in this series as I find the history fascinating.
