Review by: MandyApgar
An examination of the history, conservation, and making of Civil
War quilts as focused on 13 of the 15 prime examples of the craft from
Northern states. A brief history of each is given along with particulars
of the soldiers and makers involved. The photography is extremely well
done and the writing very clear and respectful, something which I sadly
find to not be the common case with anything dealing with folk art. A
fair portion of the book is devoted to making period authentic quilts,
with a large section in turn containing patterns.
