Nice if you collect quilt books,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Standard Book of Quilt Making and Collecting (Dover Quilting) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful old-fashioned book, first published in the 1940's. The quilt patterns are nostalgic more of the 19th century, than of the early 20th century quilts. It's a fun book for book collectors. Pictures are all black & white, and instructions for making the quilts are pretty minimal. Also watch out -- some of the applique patterns provided are not drawn exactly as the photographs show. Definitely not a good book for beginners, and probably of little interest if your taste runs toward the contemporary.

Historical accuracy for quiltmmakers,
By Terry's Treehouse "Terry's Treehouse" (Algood, Tennessee United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Standard Book of Quilt Making and Collecting (Dover Quilting) (Paperback)
This book was written in the 1940's (I believe) and gives instructions on drafting quilt squares using brown paper (like the old grocery bags we used to get). Much more economical than spending $20 or more per pattern. I think it is also useful for historical accuracy. I would recommend this book.
