Published in the UK in 1995. Arising from a project by the Quilters'' Guild in Britain to create a national index of quilts, this study records many different styles and traditions of quilt, and quilts with special associations. Discusses people involved in quilt making, and also topics such as patterns, applique, embellishment and embroidery, reading a quilt, and imported quilts. Includes over 170 colour illustrations and an index.
