Re: ISO Quilt Block History Book

When I was looking for Amish quilting history, I found: "Making Welsh
Quilts" by Mary Jenkins and Clare Claridge. Very interesting!

Hi all,

I am volunteering (along with other Guild members) one day a week at a local
gallery to help prepare antique quilts & buttons for an exhibit that opens
on Sept. 14th in Walnut Creek, CA.
http://www.bedfordgallery.org/upcoming.htm NAYY! The curator of the gallery
has asked if there are any books that we would recommend that chronicle the
history of blocks, etc. Here is her request:

I am writing with hopes that you can help me. I would be grateful for your
recommendations of books that provide descriptions of various quilt
patterns. I'm interested in historical information, or course, but also the
"back-story" -- antidotal, popular cultural myths, etc.

The only book I have is the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns - compiled
by Barbara Brackman, but it doesn't give any history at all. I did go to
amazon.com & found several books, but I thought I'd go to the experts & see
if there are any "standout" books that any of the RCTQ members would
recommend.

Many thanks!
