Editorial Reviews

For this updated edition of her 1993 book, Brackman has added five appliqué quilt projects. The motifs in this extensive encyclopedia, which is organized by theme and symmetry, are not easily reproducible for creating one's own quilts; rather, they serve as inspiration only. This may disappoint some quilters expecting ready-to-use patterns, but this volume will be helpful for readers trying to determine possible dates or sources for antique quilts and quilt patterns.
