I BOUHGHT GREAT AMERICAN QUILTS 1989 BECASUE THE GREAT AMERICAN QUILT SERIES NOT ONLY PROVIDES WONDERFUL PATTERNS BUT ALSO GIVES INFORMATION ABOUT THE CREATION OF THE QUILTS PICTURED AND THE MAKER OF THE QUILTS, HISTORICAL AND NEW. IN SOME CASES A WONDERFUL HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE QUILT IS PROVIDED. ONE CAN FIND HISTORICAL QUILTS REDONE IN MODERN FABRICS AND BY MODERN METHODS MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR TODAYS QUILTERS TO RECREATE THE QUILT IN A MORE TIMELY FASHION. THE BOOK ASLO PROVIDES SAMPLES OF THE WONDERFUL CREATIVE GENIUS OF QUILTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THEIR FABULOUS CREATIONS ARE PICTURED ALONG WITH SOMTHING ABOUT THEM AND THE REASONS FOR THIER CREATIONS. SEEING THE CREATIVE WORK OF OTHERS ENCOURAGES QUILTERS TO TRY NEW AND INVENTIVE WAYS TO CREATIVE OUR OWN WORKS OF ART. THE PHOTOGRAPHS IN THE BOOK ARE ALSO EXCELLENT. I THINK IT IS VERY IMPORTATNT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE COMPLETED QUILT IN COLOR WHEN MAKING A SELECTION FROM THE BOOK. THE PRICE OF THE BOOK WAS EXCELLENT AS WELL AND THAT WAS ALSO A LARGE FACTOR IN MY PURCHASE.Read full review

A very nice hard bound book with enough patchwork quilt patterns to last a lifetime. I have it on my coffee table and never get tired of looking in it.
I decided to buy this book after looking at one a lady I know in Winchester, KY had at the quilt store.
