Patchwork quilts are hugely evocative emblems of our domestic past.
With no two quite the same, each example hints both at the story of
the particular household in which it was produced and at a larger
piece of social history. But quilting is by no means only
historical, with the craft seeing a huge revival in popularity in
recent years, and items that were once made for purely utilitarian
and practical reasons are now produced and appreciated for the
connection they afford us to a rich vein of heritage and nostalgia.
Illustrated with a stunning range of examples from the Quilters'
Guild Collection - of which the author is curator - this book is a
wonderful introduction to a hugely important aspect of British
domestic history.
