Excellent book for miniature quilt ideas. ( )

The great thing about this book is that the quilts are real quilts from the past. The earliest are from the 1880s (if I recall correctly) and there are some, including a delightful political pair of elephant and donkey, as late as the 1930s. Directions and patterns for making each of the quilts are included. I would have liked more information on the provenance of the quilts, but perhaps they didn't have that information. The introduction on the importance and rarity of small quilts was outstanding. ( )

This is one of those quilt books that I just like to read through on a rainy day....great photos and well written. ( )
