Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns

Paducah, Kentucky, U.S.A.: American Quilter's Society, 1993. "If Adam's task was naming the animals, it may be that Eve's was naming quilt patterns. I know I am not the only quilt lover who has developed a file to keep track of the pattern names of all the quilts I intended to make. THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PIECED QUILT PATTERNS grew out of my belief that every quilt pattern mhad a name if only I could find it....I will not present this index as the authority on pattern names. Patteern names, like all vocabulary, change over time. The right name for a pattern is what you call it. This encyclopedia is, however, the most complete index to published names for American quilt design. It indexes patterns that appeared in print as early as the 1830's." This book has 551 pages and is profusely illustrated. Overall, a FINE copy of this SCARCE title.. Not Given. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
