Barbara Brackman is a leading authority on the history of quilts and textiles. This book is an essential reference for anyone interested in acquiring or appraising vintage quilts and textiles. Based on her study of over 900 dated quilts, Brackman presents the history of textile manufacture, quilt construction techniques, and the evolution of color and style in quilt design.

I would have liked more color photos, but this book, combined with Brackman's encyclopedias of pieced and appliqué patterns and Eileen Trestain’s two volumes on historic fabrics, will tell you almost everything you need to know about vintage quilts. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
For James
First words
Too few quiltmakers have been blessed with the foresight to sign and date their work, so most antique quilts can be dated only by an educated guess.
