Another wonderful book from Barbara Brackman. Clues in the Calico provided scholarly research on textile history; America's Printed Fabrics provides assistance for those who want to make quilts that look old. Color illustrations of 19th century quilts are paired with illustrations and patterns for modern reproductions.

This book is a revised and updated version of one chapter from Calico Craze, which is now out of print and rare. (

[Introduction] Quilts grew out of available fabric. They are truly the art of the found object, the object being yard goods.

The quilt, the quintessential American Folk art, shares a common history with our country.
