Beautiful antique quilts and a workbook of patterns come together in this lavish photography book for quilters. The 25 featured quilts from the Wisconsin State Historical Society collection are displayed in 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.
