The Romance of the Patchwork Quilt in America

The Romance of the Patchwork Quilt in America by Carrie A. Hall & Rose G. Kretsinger

The Romance of the Patchwork Quilt in America is a volume unique among works on art design. The slow changing of our social patterns has been recorded in many ways, but no one product has so closely reflected the folkways of some portions of American life as has the patchwork quilt. Although quilt making is one of the world's oldest arts, the pieced quilt, according to Mrs. Hall, is our own American production. This book portrays the romance of the patchwork quilt throughout America's past and the important part it plays in America's present graphically with words and photographically with illustrations.
