Praise for this book
There is something timeless about traditional blocks and colours, and this book is perfect evidence of that. The author has grouped the projects into three eras--1840s and earlier, 1840-1870, and 1870-1900. She provides historical information about the prints and dyes for the fabrics, then she identifies the kinds of blocks that were popular at that time. Although brief, this trip into the past is interesting and shows what was popular all those years ago continues to be popular today. The photos are clear and there are plenty of diagrams and instructions to make the process successful for both the experienced and beginner quilter. This is a book for people who love piecing, reproduction fabrics, and the look of tried and true designs and colourways.--Down Under Quilts, 179
