Montana Star Quilts,
By
This review is from: Montana Star Quilts (Paperback)
Book stores and libraries need to keep copies of this book in both the section for crafts and the cultures sections.The variations possible with star quilts are endless. The many full-color illustrations in this book show a wide array of possibilities using varying colors and designs. Some are the product of Montana's skilled Native American quilters and many are by Linda Parker herself. Parker provides patterns for a number of designs, plus many tips and techniques that will be of value. The star quilt plays a unique role in the Plains Indian cultures. Giving gifts is a traditional way of recognizing accomplishments, milestones, or friendship. The star quilt is a noteworthy gift. The gift-giver may have made the quilt or have bought it from a quilter. A master quilter may make her, occasionally but rarely his, living making quilts. Particular quilts such as one involved in a particular ceremony or passed down through a family will have special meaning. It may have spiritual significance. Linda Parker explains some of the roles that a quilt may play in an Indian culture.
