Beautiful antique quilts and a workbook of patterns come together in this lavish photography book for quilters. The featured quilts of various types and styles are from the Wisconsin State Historical Society's collection displayed in the period rooms at Old World Wisconsin, the Society's outdoor museum of German and Scandinavian farm houses. Patterns and block layouts are provided for replicating each of the original quilts, and after seeing each of them in a true historical context, home sewers will be inspired to create their own versions.
