As one of the thirteen original colonies, Connecticut made unique
contributions to the development of America's textile industry.
Until now, however, quilts from this historic state have only been
viewed in bits and pieces through other states' documentation
projects and museum collections. This beautifully illustrated book
is the culmination of ten years of documentation and research and
shows more than 145 outstanding and diverse quilts from
Connecticut. They range from a signed and dated, pre-Revolutionary
War Medallion quilt to a Grandmother's Flower Garden made by one of
Connecticut's most prolific twentieth-century quiltmakers. Beyond
the wonderful colors and shapes of the quilts are the fascinating
stories of their makers, women and men whose lives were interwoven
in Connecticut's rich history. This book is a must for students of
quilt history, women's studies, textile enthusiasts, and devotees
of American history.
