5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for quilt history buffs, June 4, 1999
By A Customer
A warm, engaging book by a serious quilt historian. The photos are great. What's intriguing is the author's theme of how the quilts of the American depression were often anything but somber -- there was great beauty, joy, and exuberance in the designs.
