4.0 out of 5 stars wonderful quilts, great instructions, March 21, 2006
By E Rice (western ny state) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
this book would be worth buying for the photos of 19th century quilts alone--especially those of susan mccord. that the instructions are first rate, and full-sized patterns are included, makes it even more fantastic.

the only reason i do not give it five stars is the inclusion of instructions for so many variations of log cabin and other well documented and frequently presented designs. i would have been happier if the space had been used to present less common quilt designs. i love log cabin and many of its variations, but you can find instructions for them everywhere.

that being said, this book is still a great addition to any quilter's library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great new book, January 29, 2006
Having been a member of The Henry Ford for many years, I eagerly awaited this book. I was not disappointed. The photography was lovely, and the quilts chosen were beautiful, especially the section on Susan McCord's amazing quilts. I was lucky enough to see these quilts up close and although the majesty of her masterpieces is not as obvious in these photos, they do give one a great idea of how wonderful these quilts are. Many great chapters in this book including a textile timeline. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in quilt history or any fan of The Henry Ford.

5.0 out of 5 stars Including "user friendly" instructions & full-size patterns for making replicas of these beautiful, historic, functional quilts, January 8, 2006
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Fons & Porter Presents Quilts From The Henry Ford showcases 208 pages of history, stories and the artistry of original quilts that directly reflect the ingenuity, resourcefulness and innovation of some of the best American quilt makers ever to practice this domestic needlecraft art. Enhanced with a time line, Fons & Porter Presents Quilts From The Henry Ford features projects which were inspired by the antique quilts archived in The Henry Ford and including "user friendly" instructions and full-size patterns for making replicas of these beautiful, historic, functional quilts. There's even a special section devoted to the impressive quilt collection of Susan McCord, an internationally renowned 19th century quilter. No personal, professional, academic, or community library quilting history reference collection can be considered comprehensive or complete without the inclusion of Fons & Porter Presents Quilts From The Henry Ford!
