Description

An extraordinary collection of dazzling quilts from Mennonite communities across North America. This deluxe quality book presents a variety of applique, patchwork, and elaborate crazy patch designs from the late 19th to the early 20th centuries. Some quilts follow traditional patterns; others are simply one-of-a-kind. All express the creative and innovative spirits of their Mennonite makers. All exhibit precision and fine attention to detail.
